The spring chicken can be a little flashy which is a major turn off to the Hen; some chickens like the spotlight and some don't. Spring chickens can add spice to the organization! They are usually the hustlers and workers that take a lickin' and keep on tickin'. At times, the spring chicken poses a threat to the Hens. This is not always intentional and not always avoidable. The Hen that feels threatened is the Hen that hates change, does not feel like they are going to be noticed anymore, and quite frankly are the ones who have been faking the funk. Spring chickens have quite a bit to learn and will make several mistakes along the way. Now the one to be watchful for is the wise spring chicken.
