[Howlet]

i have a question about the temperment twards other chickens of the following breeds-

- Laced Red Wyandotte
-Ancona
-Light Brown Leghorn

Any help is welcomed!!

Blue Laced Red Wyandottes are generally docile and get along fine with other breeds, although occasionally you can get an aggressive one. However that is definitely the exception and not the rule. Anconas and Light Brown Leghorns are high strung and flighty, but usually get along fairly well with other breeds, although Leghorns are sometimes aggressive toward other breeds.

You're welcome. Other than Silkies, breeds that have a well deserved reputation for being calm and gentle include Australorps, Orpingtons, Cochins, Brahmas, Sussex, and Faverolles. You might want to consider getting one or more of these breeds. If eggs are a priority, Australorps are the best layers on this list, and Cochins are the worst (although they are the best brooders and mothers).

I used to raise Buff Cochins and they were gentle giants. )
