Us too! We had to eat the polish male we had. He was the meanest thing ever (attacked everyone in site, from the front, side and at our backs too). The other chickens even hated him. They would kick him out of the coop every time he tried to enter, and he'd have to sleep on the roof of the chicken house. I kept thinking an owl or something would take him one day, but it never happened (they were probably scared of him too, since every other bird we've had outside on accident has been eating immediately). Sadly though, I still had some weird sympathy for him anyway. When I sliced his neck when he was in the cone, he didn't even flinch. It felt like he was wanting to leave this world. Every once in awhile I think of him - I guess every creature is interesting in it's uniqueness in some way, even when they're mean. I don't think it was his fault so I just feel sorry for him.

Now, if I could figure out which rooster(s) attacked/killed my favorite australorp male the other day, I would kill him/them. None of the others showed damage (I have lots of young males 3-6 months old), but they beat him up so badly that he bled to death basically through his comb. I put him out of his misery after a day and the flies were coming to him so I knew he didn't have long left, just huddled under the bushes alone. I miss him, sweety boy. He was so nice to the hens too.

They are very sweet natured and docile birds. The legs are delicacy in Vietnam and have medicinal powers. Unfortunately they are facing extinction now. As ugly as some people think they are, it would be a great loss.

As ugly as this bird is I must say naked necks and showgirls are still uglier to me.

And I thought cornish chickens had thick legs!

Poor things!

Well.....I kinda like 'em. Too bad they're not available here. But if they were somebody would just HAVE to cross them with Naked Necks...maybe toss in a Silkie and prove without a doubt that birds are descended from dinosaurs

I think Silkies are the most usesless chicken there is. I hate show chickens they are just as useless. I've read that in developing the breed for show it reduces their productivity. Bantams are another pointless breed.
Now give me a bird like my wife. She's beautiful and hardworking and strong. I didn't know all this when I laid eyes on her but I'm glad I married her. If they ever had a pageant that took all these qualities in consideration she'd win first prize.
