    i’ve heard chickens will just casually peck others to death if they have a wound too, like it’s not even malice or removing competition, they just do it from some fucked up instinct.

      I once read about a turkey that had to be wraped on a tea towel to allow a wound to heal as the creature kept pecking at it and ripping out pieces of flesh that would glady eat.

      That is pretty high on the extreme behavior list. And I think it was a pet turkey.
