Worst chicken breed

[FrostRanger]

I did get them from the farm store, and my new ones I got from a breeder, so i’m wondering if that is also apart of the aggression?

Hoover (where most farm stores order chicks from) isn't exactly known for quality so it's plausible that you both got unlucky and they had some birds with undesirable temperaments slip through

yeah, there’s a little farm store in my town that orders from murray mucmurray and the chicks there have great temperaments. My friendliest birds come from them

That’s interesting!! I have my first batch of chickens ever from mucmurray right now, and I definitely see temperamental differences. Also one slightly odd thing that I have been wondering if it was due to different hatchery, their eggs are extremely hard to peel when boiled. Every single one of the chicks I got from them, I have never had this issue before. Coincidence or related yall think?

Maybe? That probably gives some certainty about better genetics. I got mine directly from a hatchery, and it has been a very good experience, but I guess it could be hit or miss.

The hatchery was Ideal Poultry, by the way.
