Chicken Breed You Dislike?

[cgmccary]

I will get in trouble if anyone who knows me sees this but I dislike Seramas.

I would have to say the aracauna. even though it was important to the breeding of the CCL, the fact that the ear tuft gene can spell trouble for breeding two of them together and it has no tail feathers is enough to steer me away from it. Just my opinion though and no offense intended to those who own the breed...

It is okay not to care for a chicken breed.

I do not care for hot pink walls in a bedroom. But it is fine if someone else paints his or her bedroom hot pink.

Turkens, show girls, anything lacking neck feathers
(Based purely on their looks, I’m sure they are still very nice chickens).

My father had Turkens "Naked Necks" and they are good chickens, but they are not pretty. I do not like them.

I do not like feathered heads or feat, or bald necks.

I know several other people have already stated this but polish. I have tried and tried to have success with raising a flick of polish. All the polish I have ever raised were silver laced hatchery quality so I may not be giving them a fair review. However all the polish I have ever owned seemed to be extremely dumb almost to the same extent as my silkies and for whatever reason it always seems like they were the first birds to go when a predator made a visit. Also araucanas because everyone I’ve ever owned has been skidish and not very friendly.

Even though I raise and breed them Silkie/Polish/bantam Cochins (I like LF Cochins) and Japanese bantams my bantam Cochin has only laid 9 eggs this year... and my Japanese bantam 10.... my Silkie and Polish actually did okay but my cochin was horrible.

Modern game breeds...terrifying to me for some reason!

Svart hona. They're just fat cemanis.
Deathlayers. They're nowhere near as cool as they sound.
Cream legbars. I've found them to be fragile and easily bullied.

I liked my wee little mottled cochin...but I'm sure I wouldn't want a whole flock of them.

I love my feather footed little Mille Fleur d'Uccle and her odd personality, but again, not sure what I'd do with a dozen or more.

My Welsummers lay well, even as just beginning pullets, but man oh man are they dingbats. Right out of the gate, as soon as they started feathering in, spastic morons that flap and squawk and get zoomies around the yard for absolutely no reason. Even the others (all non-Welsummer various breeds) look at them like wtf?

My new lavender Orps are coming in close second to the Welsummer dingbats. My Buff Orps are steady Eddies, but blue makes their brain not work worth a damn apparently.

Put me in this camp. These things look alien and creepy to me, sorry.

I know who Bullitt is/was. Steve McQueen, my first real movie crush, and never mind the awesome car. Dad took me, I was eleven. My feet didn't touch the ground for a week!

That is funny.

I do not like bantams, either. So I do not like feathered heads and feat, bald necks, or bantams.

I thought Welsummer would be a good breed.
