The object of this thesis was to see if there were any correlations between fearfulness and social behaviours in the F7 birds. If correlations were seen there could be genetic mechanisms behind the traits which would be of interest for further studies.

Of interest was also to see if any differences between the genders could be seen, and if weight could be connected to any of the behaviours.

The hypothesis of the study was that some correlations between fear and social behaviours in the chickens would be found, and that there will be clear gender difference in some variables.
