I have to talk POLISH! - Page 118

you got a pair!

love-my-wolves           I like your birdies !  The WCB is frizzled and I would say a pullet.  In some types of black feathers there is a green sheen which is normal and some folks find attractive. I like it . It is not gender related. There is another genetic variation related to black feathers but I can not remember what it is.  The reddish feather on the Cuckoo is either what they call "leakage"  or the result of a failed project attempt to breed a Creole.  The spelling my be incorrect. What I am trying to explain is a style that looks Cuckoo on the lower body and reddish barred on the head, neck and breast.  Maybe some one will find a picture from you or you could do a search to see it for yourself.  

Thanks!! I got my pair from Ultra1classic and these are some of his breeding stock (http://www.backyardchickens.com/t/612510/12-plus-bad-azz-bantam-polish-and-lf-tolbunt-eggs#post_8101858) but I didn't know what the red was called. I don't know if he was doing a project, but he might have been! Any idea if I breed them together (they are not from the same parents) what I would end up with? Thanks!!!!
 

he has crele in his pics so youv'e probobly got a ....."faulty" or "Partial"  crele.

No matter what he is a pretty boy 
 

You're one lucky girl to get only two chickens and end up with a pair! I love the metallic green on my black chickens. It's like the beautiful tail of a roo but all over. I have it in my black EE's really strong and in my black Polish but not as shimmery.

I have leakage in one of my self black roo's. It will be interesting to see what his babies come out as. My friend SunnyDawn just hatched some for me. I think she got 9 out of 11 of the eggs I gave her to hatch. But he's not my only roo so we'll have to wait and see. Can't wait to sort through and see who's who. I kept him because someone told me with my white splash and him I could get WC Blue so I thought I'd shoot for that.

Did the leakage on your boy just show up in the last couple of weeks? Seems like I didn't notice my boys until he was about 3-4 months.
 

Steph, do I see a little frizzle in him? Maybe Sarah can help here but I think there's an issue breeding frizzle to frizzle. I know very little about the frizzle thing but I think I read that. Would love to know if it's OK or what if any, the issues would be.
