Effects of Acute Tryptophan Depletion on Repetitive Behavior in Laying Hens
TLDR
In conclusion, ATD impacted the hens' social behavior by increasing the number of repetitive gentle feather pecks at conspecifics, suggesting a role for the serotonergic system on cognition in these birds.

Where in the serotonergic system does it go wrong? Unravelling the route by which the serotonergic system affects feather pecking in chickens
Analysis of the brain transcriptome in lines of laying hens divergently selected for feather pecking
TLDR
A model in which the gut microbiota modulates the immune system, which in turn affects cholinergic signaling is proposed, which might have an influence on monoamine signaling with possible involvement of GABA or glutamate signaling.
The Role of Tryptophan-Kynurenine in Feather Pecking in Domestic Chicken Lines
TLDR
The effect of social disruption stress on FP and the metabolism of the amino acids TRP, phenylalanine (PHE), tyrosine (TYR), their relevant ratios, and on large neutral amino acids which are competitors with regard to their transport across the blood-brain barriers in adolescent birds selected for and against FP behavior is determined.

TLDR
S-15535, a somatodendritic 5-HT-sub(1A) autoreceptor agonist, was demonstrated to be an excellent tool for reducing5-HT turnover in the forebrain of LFP and HFP chicks, and the most effective dose significantly increased severe feather-pecking behavior.

TLDR

TLDR
Investigation of the effects of genetic origin, but not social environment, affected the behavioral response to manual restraint and monoamine functioning in laying hens found the WL birds struggled less during restraint and had higher dopamine and 5-HT turnover levels after restraint than did RIR birds.
