Chickens always form a pecking order of dominance. The largest, strongest c0ck is the dominant one. But when the strongest chickens from different coops are put together in a new coop, they again from a pecking order, and the chickens who are not at the top actually get progressively weaker as they descend from the top. When the weakest chickens are taken from one coop and put into the same coop, nine out of ten of them actually get stronger, and the average strength of the chicken matches those of the coop full of alpha males.
The chickens actually hormonally adjust to their position in the pecking order. The same phenomenon has been observed with other social animals, including chimps. The Bills now find themselves at the bottom of the pecking order. Buffalo has a reputation as a loser city at this point. It is at the bottom of the football pecking order. Will this affect our play?
