Not sure if this is in the right thread...but are there any certain chickens that are downright mean? Any I should avoid getting because of their attitude?
not because of meanness (alot of that is individuial temperment as well as socialization), but crested birds, like polish can be jumpy, the foofy feathers can block vision.

x2 Individual birds within each breed can differ, but most can be socialized. You will find that your Mediterranean breeds are flightier, so if you don't want that personality trait, go for a breed that is calmer.
our polish are just fine if you talk to them before you pick them up.
breeds like shamo, maylay can be tough on ech other you have to keep the roos pened separately. they are not supposed to be mean to people but I saw a maylay take a chunk out of his owner at a show. he said the birds daddy was as sweet as could be but this one was going to be culled for temperament issues.
