The bossiest hen is always which ever one is at the top of the pecking order.  IMO, RIR have a rep for being nasty tempered.  Mediterranean breeds have a rep of being flighty and aggressive in a flock.

My lead hens quite small,many hens are larger then her.

my hybridized red jungle fowl rooster is the sweetest bird ive ever had he will stand by baby chicks hes never seen before and let them peck and pull on his wattles it looks painful but he doesnt seem to mindXP 

Not al are,but many are bred to fight sovwhen brought into a normal less aggressive flock they take that out on the birds.And ingenerel a lot of them temd to be human aggressive. Just saying it is in her best interests to stay away.

It depends on the breed. The bigger and docile breeds like orpingtons, brahmas etc won't be as mean. The smaller and more wild breeds like ameraucanas, araucanas and leghorns will be a lot more mean if they get to be boss in the pecking order. This is how it is with our flock. The bigger breeds can still mean however. Our barred rock is very mean in our flock.

I've had EE in my flock for 5 years, and NEVER seen a mean one. They have always been lower in the pecking order. Lovely little birds, and good layers.
