What Chicken Breeds do you Dislike & Why?

[Future_Homesteader]

So I’m only new to chickens and out the flock I have at the moment I hate our white leghorn lol she’s a spaz and skittish. Our rir is a beautiful bird prob the friendliest also we love our Pekin bantam lol kids call her fluffy legs

I don't dislike any breeds. There are breeds that have never fit my style of keeping but that would be my issue.
RIR birds for example are in general much too fiery to mix with my normal choices of either big docile birds like Faverolles or birds with lots of dangly bits like Minorcas and La Fleches.

I like to put my extra chickens in the freezer so.... I do not like a chicken that I love.
How is that for a guy who never took a logic class?

I'm not a fan of feathered legs/feet, tuffs/muffs or crests. Bantams, overly 'fluffy' or rounds birds are not for me. Most of the oriental breeds of games are too upright, they look like someone grabbed them by the head and feet and stretched them out.

Good thread..
Well I don't like RIR, white Leghorn, Polish, or Barred Rock.
I have a Silkie Hen and what I don't like about her is she is very stupid although a good mother. I dislike continuous Broody behaviour too..

My Golden Laced Wyandotte is actually at the bottom of the pecking order. My RIR are an odd mix of bullies and scaredy-cats. The Australorps and Jersey Giant are calming down-I can't tell them apart yet. The best personalities I have are the Barred Rocks (Roo and Hen) and my Dominique. The EE is really flighty. The ISA comet is inquisitive and at the top of the pecking order. The buckeye is standoffish.

I agree with a lot of the comments above about creepy half-plucked birds--ie naked necks. When picking breeds I wanted something that laid well and was at least kind of self sufficient. My flock is a little over 3 months old. So we will wait and see.

Hey I was about to post that!

I dislike constant broody behavior that some breeds are known for. I wouldn’t want a hen who went broody 5-6 times a year.

I have never met a chicken I didn't like... now people are another story...

Exactly!

There are individual chickens that I have not enjoyed, but even my wackiest, most skittish, most paranoid pullet (Welsummer) has her merits. No problems here with weird looking birds, feathered feet (half my flock has feathered feet), or even dumb birds. If they are not mean, I can live with them.
