Anyone have a chicken or chicken breed they will not have again?

I have 3 white leghorn never again
2 are ok but, one I can just be walking and she will attack my legs have done everything but take her head off she just does it every now and then

Funny. My 3 WL can all be approached and picked up without complaint.
I will never again have Wyandottes. I only have one and that sob can hardly be touched without losing a limb. By far the worst chicken I have ever had.

I have one Wyandotte she was wild younger hard to catch if she got out and hated being touched but after she stared laying she has been great.

White Leghorn (except my broody one)
Dominiques
Delawares
American standard Buff Orps (except my two broodies who I will breed into my mutts)
RIR (I never had a full blooded RIR, but I had two Dom/RIR, one hen and one cockerel, and I'm never having full blooded RIRs)

So far my favorites are Orpington and Australorp

Molly decided to stop being mama to her chickies. She roosted with the main flock and left her babies behind last night. This surprised me because she mothered her last batch of chicks for 15 weeks. She mothered this batch for only 6 weeks. Thinking about it, it sort of makes sense. She hatched her last babies at the end of September and so it was the middle of October when they were this age and the nights were cold, so they still needed her. So, we moved the babies in with my Banty pullets and moved the Lavender guineas, EEs and some of the older Cornish chicks out into the main pen.
