“…The occurrence of EFP birds may also be the result of the co-occurrence of SFP with other facilitating behaviors. Chickens from an HFP line were found to have significantly higher locomotor activity compared with chickens from an LFP (Kjaer, 2009;Lutz et al, 2016). Other behaviors, such as those involved in aggression (Bessei et al, 2013;Bennewitz et al, 2014), exploration (de Haas et al, 2010Brunberg et al, 2011) and fear Boegelein et al, 2014, Grams et al, 2015b have been reported to be associated with feather pecking and may have a complementary effect on this behavior.…”
