Worst chicken breed

[Amer]

Honestly, silkies. There is absolutely nothing in that head of theirs and are so fragile of a breed. I never liked silkies due to how unbelievably stupid they honestly are; silkies can’t save themselves from an ant. No hate to any silkie owners, just making that clear, as the breed isn’t bright.
I haven’t owned any but I’ve been around plenty of my friend’s silkies (one breeds them as well). I much prefer a more spirited serama or cochin bantam to a silkie. Still as loveable and sweet but not dumber than a rock.

I'm no Silkie lover but the Silkies I've had were actually sturdy hardy birds.

Brown Leghorns. Feral scared, skittish. OTOH I never lost one to a predator while at the same time I lost a few of my sweet, chill EE to a raccoon before I trapped it and disposed of it.

For me it's the welsummer there very overrated and minr is scared of me eventhough I handled her a lot as a chick.

I know but they just aren’t the right bird for me, I know others like them. I’m just annoyed they are in my barnyard mix, my dad just picked one on impulse from TSC when we got our first girls. Also he just keeled over and died one day, no disease nothing wrong with him (the silkie not my dad )

Yeah, everyone has their own preferences!! You did kind of scare me took me a second to realize you weren’t talking about your dad

The attacks on the silkies

We’ve didn’t have much luck with our silkie either

Ive never owned silkies so dont know there.
But my Cinnamon queen was probably the meanest toward me. I had a grey EE who bullied one other to the point of blood. But other EE that were friendly.
Ayam Cemanis are pretty birds but dont try keep more than one cock of that breed together. Lots of cock fights. And super flighty.

I love my Orpingtons, Cochins and my russian orloffs(somehwat skittish but they are coming around). Brahmas are pretty good but after bullying from other hens they get skittish.

I’ve always had bad luck with Wyandottes. They are belligerent, both to us and the other chickens (and these are just hens!). They’re not reliable layers, and small eggs. Mostly, though, they’re just stupidly stubborn. I had a Wyandotte that would refuse to go into the coop at night, instead roosting on the A/C unit or in trees. I’d have to go hunt for her every night. She eventually taught a bunch of the other hens to copy her behavior, which caused her and them to get killed because some predator found them before we could. They are pretty chickens though.

My SLW who passed recently also wasn't very good.

My black laced red wyandotte with a straight comb making me think she is a mix. But she is friendly.

I would have figured it out, but thanks for the clarification
