Pros: Fun to watch, good sized eggs, sweet temperament

Cons: Rate of laying, timid in pecking order

My Cher was a bright spot in my flock, she was a skitzy feather head who would do the funniest things. However, I was never able to integrate her with my full size flock as she was so terrified she was almost injuring herself trying to hide/escape. And she was never friendly with me. I think that was more to do with having bought her full grown from a breeder who didn't seem to socialize his birds much. She never bit or pecked me though, even when she was horribly sick. I would love to have another some day.

I had two polish chicks (3 months old)... I lost one today ): They were picked on so I wonder if the other chickens killed her. The two were raised together so I don't know what to do the remaining loner. I have separated her from other chickens for her own protection, but I feel bad for her being all alone... I wish I would have known they were difficult to integrate. I don't know what I'll do now. ):
I agree the Polish are beautiful, and spazzy! I only have bantam breeds, and I usually try to hatch my Polish along with Silkies- it has worked really well. I only have a few full grown Polish, so I can keep them together with the smaller chicks and they get to be the boss! So far, all my Silkie-Polish family members snuggle up together & get along just fine!
