Picked a barred rock over a wyandotte for my first flock and kinda regret it.

I got 6 chicks back in March and couldn't decide between barred rocks and wyandottes. Went with barred rocks cause they're supposed to be super hardy and easy. 4 months in and two of them are total jerks, pecking the others and hogging the feeder. My neighbor has wyandottes and they're all super chill, just wandering around eating bugs. Anyone else have luck with one breed over the other for temperament?

Funny how temperament always seems to be the wild card with everything.

Wait, are you telling me people actually think temperament is the thing that messes everything up? Like, my buddy James can be the chillest dude alive but give him a slow wifi connection and he turns into a total gremlin, ready to throw his laptop out the window. And my sister? She's super patient with her kids but gets nasty anxious over a delayed pizza order. It's wild how one specific trigger can just flip someone's whole mood on a dime.
