unpopular chicken opinions??

I think Orpingtons are over rated

I'm close to agreeing with that. My BO cockerel, if I believed the majority opinion, would be a sweetheart. Ummmm.... no.

Sorry @OneHappyRooster , I like them and am getting some, but I just think they're a bit over rated. Kinda like how silkies and games are now. And cochins. Like them too, but they're a bit over rated as well

Thank goodness someone else thinks naked necks are ugly!

I'm not a fan of feathered legs, either. I just see a mess waiting to happen. Mud, snow, dirt, yuck.

I've always HATE naked necks. Though... gotta disagree with the feathered legs.

I love my naked necks. I have a quartet if standards and 10 bantam chicks coming this spring

I'm kidding. It's a fair point.

Exactly! I don't understand the hype, I think buff orps in particular are over rated. I think buff is kinda ugly to be honest. I do like myself a nice lavender cuckoo orp though.

i gotta say if you’re looking for a round bird just go for an austrolorp, they’ve got a ton of personality

I'm not a big fan of Buff as a colour either.

I like it out of loyalty to my birds.
But it gets a little boring after a while when you see nothing but Buff.

Australorps are okay, but pretty boring in my opinion. I'll just stick to my cochins and brahmas.

Gets especially annoying when someone asks for a suggestion for a breed and people say "Buff Orpingtons, they make great mothers." Instead of just saying "Orpingtons, they make great mothers." like Buff is just a color, it's not that special.
