Chickens

Chickens are one of the most common predators of scorpions that eat scorpions. Chickens are social creatures that live in flocks. They raise their offspring together and incubate eggs in a communal manner. A flock of hens will have dominant individuals who will create a "pecking order," giving them priority access to food and nesting areas. This social structure is momentarily upset when hens or roosters are taken out of a flock until a new pecking order is formed. Younger chickens added to an established flock of hens might cause conflict and harm.

This is probably a result of both their instincts and their capacity to withstand a range of diets. Chickens are able to locate and feast upon scorpions with easily since they have an enhanced sense of smell and taste compared to many other animals. Furthermore, chickens have robust immune systems that enable them to resist the venom of the majority of scorpions.

A rooster may invite other chickens to eat first when he discovers food. He accomplishes this by picking up and dumping the food while clucking loudly. Mother hens are known to call their chicks and urge them to feed by using this behavior. The crowing of a rooster is a loud, occasionally harsh cry that serves as a territorial indication to other roosters. But roosters may also croak in response to unexpected shocks in their environment.
