We have been enjoying watching our 11 week old chicks and have been trying to figure out a pecking order. Should they have one by now?For example one always seems to be the last to go to bed and seems to sleep by herself sometimes. We always thought she might be the head chicken but we can't tell if these are signs that she is the strong protective one or the weak one one being ostracized.They all hang out together during the day. We can kind of tell which one might be at the bottom of the pecking order but are having trouble telling what the pecking order is.

I had an inkling about my lead hen at about 8 weeks or so. She was just more dominant about most things. Now she just about thinks she's a rooster and only gives me an egg once or twice a week. I want my green egg!
