Little is known about the history of the Polish breed. At this time, there is no evidence that proves that they even came from Poland! The oldest record of the breed is a statue located in Vatican City that greatly resembles a Polish Chicken. The breed as a whole has a mysterious history, but because of their beauty, it is quickly becoming one of the most popular breeds in the world.

Pros: beautiful and funny no fuss
Cons: tended toward skittishness as she aged

I have 1 Polish, a silver barred girl. One thing I can say about her is she is TOUGH! It may be because of how I got her. She was abandoned by a neighbor when she got severe frost bite on her feet almost 3 yrs. ago. When we found her she was hiding around another neighbor's hot-tub (no dummy she!). Her feet were severely frost bit and she had a terrible infection. We took her in and I started an antibiotic regime for her along with a few drops of an anti-inflammatory. Even as sick as she was, she still laid an egg daily. When she wanted to go with the other birds, she'd cry until I picked her up and carried her out to them. To make a long story short, she survived and not only survived, became head hen. And this after she had to have most of her toes amputated. She only has stubs and 1 digit on each foot. You should see her perch and "run" around with the other girls. I am quite impressed with the breed's hardiness. She is a gentle bird but as she has gotten older she has gotten an aversion to me ( I think she thinks I'm the devil). Oh course, I can't blame her because I had to do all the doctoring and I'm sure it hurt her! This late summer she FINALLY went broody (she's almost 5) and hatched a beautiful little chick. Unfortunately a hawk got her and Miss Muppet has never gotten over that and has become very "strange".
All in all, I LOVE the breed and am SO impressed with their "determination". Yes, the face feathers get in their way, but, now don't laugh, I trimmed her feathers around her eyes so she can see better. She thanked me for it! :) Will I get another? You'd better believe it! They're so fun and look so cool it's like having a piece of beautiful jewelry that lays eggs!

Pros: This bird is pretty and fun to watch
Cons: Can't see well, gets mistreated by regular birds, and seems to be below average intelligence.

I didn’t like owning the White Crested Black Polish. She seemed kind of stupid (comparatively speaking) and none of the other birds liked her. That combined with the crest blocking her vision meant a lot of problems for her. Probably would not own again.

My second favourite breed only next to the barred rock :D
I have a buff laced polish (beardless largefowl) and a self black (bearded large fowl). My black one is super friendly, loves to be handled and talked to. She is not afraid of anything. She lets strangers pick her up without a fuss. My BL is a little more skittish, but she is still very young.
Neither of mine have begun to lay yet, even though one is 10 months old 
Article: Polish
Breed Details: Along with the vibrant color array that the breed already has, Breeders are constantly making new colors, such as the Black Crested White Polish and Red Crested Red Polish. Frizzled polish are becoming more popular as well, and there are even a few breeders working on Naked Neck (NN) Polish, and NN Frizzled Polish. I have 7 colors of polish and greatly enjoy their unique personalities. They are flighty, but with a little effort on the ownerÂs part, they will tame, and make great pets. The chicks are a little harder to start off than some other breeds, but in the long run, it is more than worth it to choose this breed. |
