Oh no. I'm so sorry you had mean Welsummers. I got mine from a breeder in SC and right away was amazed at how calm and quiet they were. Especially compared with my Ameraucanas and Marans. As a matter of fact they got bullied because they were so non-aggressive. Just goes to show, temperament can be bred into or out of a breed. Good culling factors I've read on BYC!
