Specifically, this guy was the one who identified an Alpha Male in wolf packs. Except what he was actually identifying was "Dad". Just a family of captive wolves, and one of them was the dad/mate to the majority of the others since they were tiny, so they defer to him.

Funnier the guy himself would go on to disprove his theory iirc. A bunch of online grifters and sub humans just used the original theory to support their stupidity

There are animals that do have what would be considered an alpha.

But they're not wolves.

It's chickens. A low intelligence animal that has been bred to a point where its sole purpose is as food.

That would explain the term "pecking order," and as someone who owns chickens in my backyard, that makes sense.

u/NameLips Feb 18 '25

Yup, chickens literally have a little list in their head of which other chickens they're allowed to peck, based on if the other chicken will peck them back even harder. It ends up sorting itself into a hierarchy where there is one chicken who can peck all the others, and one chicken who can only get pecked.

Seriously, bring a rake or respectable stick or something when you go to check for eggs. If the roosters think they can bully you away from their ladies they will get bold about it.

Oh, you’re way nicer with your rooster. my grandma butchers whom ever is acting out in front of all the other chickens so they know their place.

I actually laughed. Does it work well?

u/IknowwhatIhave Feb 18 '25

Like having a guy follow you around the yard holding onto your inside out pocket... remind all the other chickens that you are the shotcaller.

u/Lowelll Feb 18 '25

Chicken will peck peck peck until they figured out who's top chicken.

But you know who's really top chicken?

We are top chicken.

u/AngryScientist Feb 18 '25

Do the roosters have large talons?
