I have a GLW and she's always been the most aggressive towards other hens out of the breeds that I keep. That being said my Paulina is pushing 3 yrs old now and seems to have "settled" down to a degree and on the whole my flock gets along pretty well but still she's the Alpha hen and most likely to peck and pick at other hens.

I had 5 Silver Laced Wyandotte with my original 10 very first ever chicks. 3 were mean that end up wearing pinless peepers for couple of months during their point of lay. They were definitely on the mean girls category so I have not repeat getting that breed though I had them for 4 yrs. I brought in a Leghorn, Barred Rocks, Marans and EEs every year but no SLW.

I have a few slw and glw, only one is mean. She's smaller than the others... but she makes up for it in attitude lol The rest are just little sweethearts though

Each and every bird had its own personality.

Yep, can't go be breed.

Yes...when introducing new birds it can be ugly for a while. Give them a few weeks to get used to each other.

....and make sure they have plenty of space.

My silver laced is a meanie. Chases my Americaunas from their food. Won't get any more of them

Each and every bird had its own personality. You never know...yours may end up nice.

I have 4 WY babies, they are now 4 weeks old, 3 are SLW and one is GLW. I have had SLW before and had not had issues with aggression with them, however the three died of reproductive and respiratory issues at a very young age. I am hoping these 4 will turn out to be OK. They are with 2 three year old EE and 3 SS which are known to be friendly breeds, my broody is raising them since they were one day old, she is a beautiful SPW.

So pretty! Great to hear you have no issues. I notice that my slw are starting to walk around with the rest of my EE’s and the ones not chasing the other chickens away from the food anymore.
