unpopular chicken opinions??

[TheAlrightyGina]

why do certain people hate on "uglier" species of chicken? There are definitely some less pretty looking breeds but they're just chickens.. no need to hate lol.

I think hate is a strong word. I only don't like it when chickens are bred in such a way that they suffer--such as certain strains of Cornish X that have loads of health problems that increase the longer you let them live past 6-9 weeks.

I don't hate any breed of chickens. I just have ones that I will never, ever have in my flock because I'm not a fan of them

Anyone complaining about frizzles surely has not seen my gray egglaying frizzle.

She's perfect. She has a boof and is frizzled? Gimme.

YES YES YES

It's the classic single combed, clean legged, orange rooster with a green tail every time. Then white or brown hens.

Yesss. And if it's a 'store at a farm', then they'll add a white rooster. And some effect meant to make it look like chipped paint. 'Rustic' they call it.

and I respect that, what I don't respect are those people on Facebook that go on and on about how much they hate the species and their only "reason" is that they're ugly :|

Something that most people don’t believe is that chickens are very smart. Chickens can be taught many things but it just takes time.
