hens — White Leghorn hens (1946)
- Description
The "peck order" of a flock of 32 White Leghorn hens studied by A. M. Guhl in 1946. According to the author, temporal changes are rare: once a hen dominates another, the pattern persists. The data were distributed by L. C. Freeman on his network data page at the University of California, Irvine (no longer online), from which this version was obtained via the Internet Archive.
A directed edge (i, j) indicates that hen i can peck hen j.
The network has the following properties:
- Nodes:
name, the label of the hen. The source file lists only 21 labels for the 32 hens; as prescribed by the file format, they are assigned to the first 21 hens, and the remaining 11 hens have empty labels.
