What breed will you never have again? Me? It's...

[RhodeRunner]

Polish...not mean but the dumbest thing on earth. They couldn't even socialize with any of my other chickens, let alone each other.

Bantam Rhode Island Reds! I hate them they are awful! Mine were mean they tried to attack me and everything else.

SLW -- mean, skittish, noisy.

Isn`t that strange my faverolles are allways being bullied,I had a hard time intergrating them into the flock because of that,I tried three differant times and finally just left them in there and its not to bad now.

I had Brahmas too. So sweet, but boy did they EAT A LOT and grow slow. I agree about the egg size and quantity as well. I probably wouldn't get them again either, unless it was purely for something ornamental.

polish and leghorns are my least favorites, polish get killed easy and the leghorns are so darn flighty, mine never settled down

I am gonna get ripped for this......RIR's. Don't mind the hens....they are pretty nice. The roosters.....had 7. They were mean to each other, and the others. The day one decided to be mean to me was his last day. I will say they had the best crow....all american real crow....was a great sound. All were rehomed or sent to freezer camp.

I have left 9 RIR hens, one cornish hen, one partridge rock hen, one Buff Orpington Outstanding Rooster (that really is making a good roo)that beat up several days in a row my Barred Rock Rooster that I moved to another run by himself and I have the Cochin....harms none, very sweet but does not want to be touched by me or any of the others...I suspect he is at the bottom of the pecking order. But his feet stay pretty clean. I will edit after tomorrow as it is supposed to rain all day.

Newest additions are five Barred Rocks....two hens and three pullets. All in quarentine for now but separate. Two hens and three pullets in two different pens. One of the hens, Lucy, is very ugly....her entire head is read....like a giant comb and wattle all run together! And she is mean, very mean to the pullets. After two days of the pullets laying crammed in a corner to try and stay away from her I made them their own pen. Now they stand up! Four weeks from now maybe they can hold their own. But thinking I will put the mean hen in the pen I made for the pullets and leave her there. Oh, and these are the girls for the Barred Rock. Cept the mean one.....

Have to add this.....that little partridge rock hen is the sweetest thing....always runs to me and watches everything I do.

One more pen is in my future if the Cochin ever decides to be a rooster....and then girls for him.

I hated my polish roos ( although they were fun to watch. so goofy looking ) Polish cross's are so irritating. They bred with my mixed egg layer flock and I am pretty sure I hate every result. They are all so stupid and flighty. They will run into walls trying to get away from me as I am feeding them all. Stupid stupid birds. No matter how short I clip their wings they are always out of their pen. I don't like them at all. And don't get me started on the polish easter egger cross's I have. At least they lay blue eggs ( where ever they are walking).

I don't like my leghorn hen. She is a great mother but the meanest darn bird I ever saw. She bites me one more time and I am eating her and will finish incubating her eggs in the house.

My RIR hens are sweet and I can walk over and pick them up. I totally enjoyed eating everyone of the roos. Just jerk birds.

Yep, put me down for Brahmas, too! I haven't had a tremendous number of breeds, but I am regretting getting these three.
