Chickens prefer to live in flocks. A flock ideally has around 10-15 hens and 1-2 roosters. Chickens are very social animals with a strict hierarchy. The phrase "pecking order" comes to mind when one thinks about chickens! Because they are a domesticated animal, one can keep a flock of nearly any size as long as you have more than 1 chicken, as they get very lonely.Multiple roosters can be an issue if not separated as they will fight for the alpha male position constantly, sometimes killing each other. Hens usually have a spat to work out the pecking order and usually not fight again unless a new hen is added to the flock. Chickens are directly related to the jungle fowl of the asian rainforests and in the same genetic family as pheasants.
