I bought 6 eggs from a breeder for my broody Silkie hen to sit on a week ago. I candled them and found only one to be developing (#1). Is there any way to tell for sure now if eggs #2-6 were fertilized or not? I candled with two different light sources and took pictures. Then I cracked each egg...

@MillieChicky7 Thank you for the photos!! They are sooooo beautiful!!!

Thank you, @JedJackson! I grabbed him tonight and was looking at his crest really closely. He has some really thin feathers up there that my other Polish hens don't have. Aladar he stays!

Cool! I have one that I can't figure out. Maybe it'll turn out to be a pullet, too.

@BastyPutt - I keep seeing your name on these Polish gender threads. When you have time, will you please weigh in? Thanks in advance!

Any updates?

This little chickie turned 11 weeks old today. I know Polish are hard to tell but I’m hoping someone can make a guess — pullet or cockerel? I bought 4 fertile eggs and had them shipped to me for my hen Geraldine to hatch, and this was the lone survivor. We’ve been calling him Aladar (after the...

@MillieChicky7, how did it turn out?

Thank you! Chickabiddy is doing great in her mixed flock along with Lottie, a buff laced Polish.

How did it turn out for you??

I’m wondering this as well!

Thank you -- We are proud of our babies! :) I ordered them from mypetchicken.com but they shipped from Meyer Hatchery.

May I ask what happened with your chick with the injured leg? I have a 16-week-old girl that is having a similar splayed leg issue right now.

Jean and her "sister" Lottie were the last additions back at the beginning of July. All the others were bought as day-old chicks at the end of May. I've been getting the B vitamins into her for the last couple of days as well as egg yolk, but she seems to be getting worse, like her good leg is...

I don’t have grubs. Where can I get some? Like a fishing bait place? What kind? Thank you!

I will get those vitamins at Walmart tomorrow — thank you!! She liked the egg yolk! I held her cuddled close to my chest while she ate it, and she was so funny. She ate/sipped a couple bites, then she wanted to wipe her beak off (my shirt worked best until I got a washcloth to help her). And...

Thank you both for responding! Jean is eating DuMOR Chick Starter/Grower 20% Poultry Feed from Tractor Supply. I just offered the scrambled eggs as a treat. I will try the raw egg — just the yolk or mix it up? In a bowl? I looked at the grocery store for B complex vitamins but all the ones I...

Jean is a 15-16 week old Polish chicken who started limping badly on Sunday. She was not wanting to put weight on her right leg. I have no idea what happened to her. She was in a separate area with only 2 other Polish hens, but she’s kind of a runt and definitely lowest in the pecking order. I...

What should I do for it? I have neo-poly-dex ointment — would that help or do I need something else? Thank you!
