Would you keep a mean chicken that poops bigger than the eggs it lays?

 

[Insnesnakos]

I wouldn't
We had a mean hen who would attack the new pullets, so we made her into chicken soup!

I don't think one has anything to do with the others. I would not keep a mean chicken.

Nope I had one that would fly at my face and attack me when I went into the pen to feed the girls, it put them all on edge and she was like this from a pullet. Bye bye, no regrets

No. If they're aggressive to me or other birds, they do not stay

Solve for the peace of the flock. I am a member of the flock.

She is constantly pecking the other chickens, to the point of drawing blood.
I had chose Bearded Silkies as my main breed. All of them are super sweet including my Rooster. I decided that I should get a couple of bigger chickens for larger eggs and had chosen Black Copper Marans after lots of research. Neither of my bigger girls, which my neighbor gave me are BCMs, which they were supposed to be. One is a Cream Legbar, she can be quite a bully but she's not very big. The other one ended up being a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. She's like 2 times the size of the Cream Legbar and 3 times the size of the Silkies. She is the one this post is about. Beautiful bird but mean!! My poor Rooster is missing his entire beard from her pulling out his feathers. And the Cream Legbar, who I thought was losing her feathers on her back from mating is actually losing her feathers from the Blue Laced Red Wyandotte pecking her hard, then pulling out her feathers.

No, it doesn't.
