They make big deals over small matters. -When a chicken lays an egg. All the other chickens in the chicken yard find out. -If one finds a worm or a bug in the dirt, they all want it (all the chickens in the yard will pursue and kill that other chicken for a little bug). -They eat anything they can pick on (especially if another chicken is eating it).
