I purchased my first Polish for $5 at a feed store. She was an accidental addition, as the brooder contained Leghorns and Cornish Cross chicks. The store owners thought she was a Leghorn who had a brain tumor and said, "You can have her, but no refunds if she dies."
Little did THEY know I knew bettter. I could tell from the start, POLIIISHHHH
And so my addiction began.
Unfortunately at 4 months old, the chick, who I had named Dori, passed away due to a head injury. She had tried to fight my top hen and very apperently took a beating.
However this did not deter me from loving the breed. They were so curious, and docile and all around beautiful.
A few months later I was given 3 roosters, Buff Laced cockerels who I named after rock stars. Benetar, Bowie, and Mercury.
About a month after that, I was contacted by another chickener who couldn't keep her birds due to an HOA, and I was given yet anoth Polish, this time a buff laced bearded female.
I seem to be hoarding them, but no shame.
These birds are beautiful, docile, curious, and a hoot to watch runn around the yard.
