The effects of social rank and cage shape on feeding frequency, weight gain, production rate, egg size, shell strength and overt aggressive activity were determined for White Leghorn layers housed six per cage in deep and shallow cages. Social rank significantly affected feeding frequency, production rate, egg size, and aggressive activity for birds in both cage designs. Birds ranking high in the social order fed more frequently, had higher production rates, larger eggs and delivered more aggressive head pecks than birds low in the peck order. The effect for production rate was manifested only at the sixth bird level. Significant social rank effects on weight gain, final body weight and shell strength were not observed. Birds in shallow cages fed more frequently, gained more weight and were involved in more aggressive acts with cage mates than those in deep cages.

The incidence of headshaking in domestic fowls (Gallus domesticus) is influenced by both social and environmental factors; it was more frequent in larger groups and in subordinate birds, and it could be greatly increased by exposure to disturbing stimuli. The findings are not readily explained by earlier suggestions that it is a response to frustration of movement, that it serves to increase sensory input under conditions of social isolation in barren surroundings, or that it is a displacement reaction to conflict situations. Evidence is presented to show that it occurred in contexts demanding increased attention, for example, upon the presentation of novel or disturbing stimuli, and it is proposed that headshaking is an “alerting response”.

Mixed sex groups of chickens were observed from hatching until 25 weeks of age, to determine the behavioural factors responsible for the association between status and mating activity, and to describe the development of sexual relationships. Factor analysis showed no association between sexual activity and the status of either cocks or hens, perhaps because these were young birds. A high frequency of treading occurred in social relationships where the male chased the female frequently, or where the male waltzed to the female frequently. Treadings most often resulted from crouchings by the females, chasing the female, and previous treadings by other males. Sexual preferences between particular pairs of individuals were noted, but this was not due to dissortive mating with regard to status. Throughout development, aggressive behaviour was more frequent between individuals of the same sex, but there was a marked distinction between inter- and intrasex aggression.
