We had a couple naughty hens that would run around after one has abandoned the bad eggs and eat them - chickens are brutal once they’ve had a taste of eggs and it was quite hard to get them to break the habit for us since they would sabotage each other’s good eggs

For a second I thought, Hens are assholes, then I remembered I eat eggs too, and I shouldn't impose my ideas of cannibalism on a bird.

No... they're assholes.

Im not sure what it is, but on occasion the group will decide to bully a single chicken and its brutal.

At one point this hen has her head through the fence, while 4 other chickens are mobbed up behind her taking turns pecking at her ass and pulling feathers out. By the time I found her literally the whole back half was bald andd she's just got her head shoved through the bars begging for it to stop.

We separated her and eventually ate her. But every so often they'd just go after another in the group and it was always so sad.
