Are frizzle polish able to be shown as long as they reach SOP on all points? Can they just get best variety or can they win further up? I haven't seen any mention of them in the ABA SOP.
I have a white bantam Polish pullet and cockerel that was shipped across country from a very well respected breeder back in February. The cockerel is perfect in every way but the pullet has always had a bit of a head twitch when she gets stressed/excited which can be common in the breed so I...
Sorry I haven't updated, I've been staying very busy with the chickens. So out of the second batch 8 out of 25 lived. Polish actually have holes in their skulls and can suffer from head trauma from shipping. I've learned my lesson, I will never ship a fragile breed again.
I don't want to upset the hatchery, but at the same time, I believe they should know. Do you think they will "black ball" me from ordering list or something? I'm not the type to cause trouble but I did pay decently for female Polish chicks and a total of 7 are dead (thats about $30 I've lost)...
So I have hatched and raised dozens of barn yard mixes and they always did so well.
Well I've decided to get purebred Polish from a hatchery. Last week I had 25 shipped that arrived on my birthday....all dead. I was devastated. I called the hatchery crying and they apologized and sent a new...
My chicks are hatching!!! This is only my 3rd hatch and my first two weren't very successful but I learned from mistakes and hopefully fixed them.
Anyways when two babies hatched tonight, I notice the inside of one of the shells had black spots? The chick seems fine but what is the black spots...
So long story. My rooster died, fueled by emotion I incubated eggs that were fertilized by him, and only one hatched and we named it Akea. Akea has been beyond spoiled as a pet. She was raised in our house getting full attention from us. As she got bigger, we let her run outside during the day...
Thank you. I'm located in KY and looking to have a necropsy conducted but it looks like that would cost around $200 and I just can't do that. I guess I'll call my local vet tomorrow to see if he knows of any cheaper options
Ok so she isn't paralyzed, if I stretch her wing out she is able to pull it back, but she doesn't have any movement in her feet and sits kind of lopsided off of them. She's puffed her feathers up now that I've separated her and she is able to hold her head up. I'm trying to do research but I'm...
I am freaking out. My pullet is 11 weeks old, lives alone in a coop with her hatch mate and gets to free range about an hour a day. Yesterday, everything was fine, they were both up and chipper like always, check on them today and I thought my pullet was dead, mashed onto the bedding and the...
Hi everyone,
I have some 6 week old chicks that I've had since they were 2 weeks. They have been doing absolutely great, I even let them play in the yard (supervised) for a little bit on warm days. But this morning one of them cannot keep its balance. It attempts to get up, flaps its wings...
