No it is not in a way, it's more like the the strongest are on top with the weaker chickens below. The top hen or usually the rooster if there is one among the flock will be the one to have the favored roosting spot at night, the first to drink and such. From time to time one of the other chickens will try to advance their position by fighting with a high ranked hen, but if they are raised together they usually will have sorted this out earlier. It's called pecking order because hens will peck at each other, sometimes to death, to prove their dominance.
