I've kept chickens. They do not understand the family concept. Roosters will happily rape their siblings or their mothers, and hens will enforce a gruelling pecking order even if it means someone dies of hunger/beatings ๐Ÿ˜ข

Yep. I've seen hens scalp their own chicks because they were a different colour from the others.
