While personalities can vary among individual birds within the same breeds, it's possible that Hissy's behavior could be influenced by genes from another breed. Do you know what other breeds the hatchery offered? I'd definitely contact that hatchery and let them know about Hissy.I did get them from a hatchery.
I’ve been wondering why she wasn’t fully gray. Snow, my gander, looks correct, based on what you’re describing FoodFreedomNow.
I’ll get a picture of him later.
Hissy was originally named Gris, the Spanish word for gray, until she began getting aggressive with the ducks, drakes, dogs and kids. She would hiss at everyone, hence the name change.
Could the mixed breed status be part of the reason she could be extra aggressive?
Since people often get Pilgrims for their autosexing trait, I'd be concerned about whether Hissy's offspring will autosex correctly (especially the females).
