Poll: What Breed is your HCIC? (Head Chicken In Charge)

[Iluveggers]

So I was curious to see if there are a few particular breeds more apt to be Head Hen? Lol. Obviously this would only count if you have a mixed flock of breeds! Thanks for participating!

PS I know there are way more breeds but I could only post the maximum allowed responses!

I have two coops.
In with my standards I have two silkie hens, who are constantly broody and crazy bossy as well. One of them has always been the boss. We call her the "terrorist". She even chases the wild birds away when they "free range". They were all raised together, so I left these two girls with them even after I built the bantam coop.
In my bantam coop, a silkie cross is the boss. These are though all younger birds, so pecking order may change.

My head hen (pullet) is an Easter Egger. I bought 4 chicks and this one was slightly larger than the others.

My head hen is a black Australorp. She has ruled the flock ever since I started with chickens - over five years now.
