Hello Janet:
Yes, they can and do recognize differences in size, conformation, coloration and the recognition has a direct effect on flock social dynamics.

This is one of the major reasons for not mixing breeds in production flocks.

Of course the motivation for many is not production - and certainly mixing breeds adds a lot of enjoyment to one's flock.
