Which do you think is the dumbest breed of chickens?

[Mahonri]

My Ancona is about as smart as a rock.

nuff said.

I say Polish too -- or could it be they just look dumb!

From what I've heard and seen... Polish. If a predator comes they will stick there heads out through the fence to be killed, pretty dumb.

I think chickens are smarter than people give them credit for... but not all of them.

POLISH!!!

My polish is the dumbest in my flock! She is the funniest to watch and the dumbest of them all. But, we love her!

I don't know about dumb BREEDS. I've met some dumb and smart individual birds from a lot of breeds.

Though if I have to pick a breed, I think I'll go with Leghorn.

Polish...well, if they can't see or react too well because of their crests then I don't count that as a dumb mark against them.

...though there is a Polish rooster I know who thinks he's a cat. No joke. He will come up and step on your shoes and rub his body against your legs and walk off again. He also makes these weird noises that we think are him trying to purr. He meows quite well!

No question. Polish

Yes, you have to add Polish. My polish are cute, but do overreact and are constantly running into the sides of the pen everytime the dogs spook them! They are cute, but DUMB!! Here's a pic of "Poof" the white-crested black polish and one of "Scrambles" the buff-laced polish below:

The Leghorns are pretty stupid. Well they are smart enough, until something startles them and then they just LOSE IT!

My Buff Orpingtons seem pretty dull. My two pullets don't even come across the yard while everyone else is gobbling up treats! I'm not sure if they are just scared of me, or henpecked by the others, but they seem kinda dumb. I kept hoping that they would get brighter as they matured, but.....so far I'm not impressed

All breeds
