    Gold laced polish ?6 weeks? Male or female?

    Hi all! I have a gold laced polish -she- is a little spicier than the rest and we are all worried we have a roo on our hands. We aren't allowed roos so the sooner we find out, the better for all of our "getting attached more everyday" hearts. Can anyone help??

    Keeping a Smaller Chick Warm

    Hi everyone: one of our new baby chicks is a little smaller and seems to be a little chillier than our other three . Any suggestions on how we can help warm it up more without overheating the others? Chicks are 8 days old and the brooder temp is at about 90°. The little one is still eating and...

    Please help. Vet has no idea

    12 week old polish started with sudden onset of ataxia with neck twisting and jerking 6 days ago. Progressed to sitting to straight spastic legs. Wings work fine as she tries to fly. Legs are hypertonic. If I prop her chest to force her legs in the correct position she tries to run and move them...

    Is this a Crested Polish?

    When I purchased these chicks they were labeled as Crested Polish. I can't find any pictures where Crested Polish have feathers on their feet? Is this possibly a cross breed?

    Sexing Polish Chickens... the development of the surprise Rooster

    As a very green, inexperienced Polish Chicken (or any chicken) owner, I hoped to find someone's photographic progression of their chicks to help me determine sex or at least more accurately guess their sex as they developed. We got 3 Polish chicks that were approximately 3-4 weeks old, with one...

    Silkie/Polish Chick Issues

    I Just recently hatch a polish/Silkie cross with frizzled feathers. A sweet little bird being raised with a Brahma/silkie cross and a Seabright/silkie cross. The polish was last hatched and had a couple issues during hatching. Her membrane was drying on her so her hatching period was a bit long...

    3 weeks chick-lethargic

    I have a 3-4 week old chick who has become more and more lethargic the last few days. She will rouse when you bring to food or water and occasionally when you enter the room but lays right back down after a bite or sip. Her abdomin seems swollen but I’m new to this so I could be wrong about...

    Polish Chick Comb at what age?

    I have 3 Polish chicks I think approximately one month old. They are not yet fully feathered, but two appear to have little bumps forming on their head at the front of their crests. I think it's the start of combs. At what age do they usually start developing? Do they develop earlier on Roos or...

    Hello! New Polish Chick Owner

    Hello all! I'll just jump right into it: (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I am brand new to chickens! (2) How many chickens do you have right now? We just (about 2 weeks ago) got three little Polish chicks approximately one month old, though one looks to be a week...

    Silkie, White crested black polish and 2 BO questions

    Hey y'all. I have wanted chickens forever and my county ordinance just changed so my dreams could come true. I felt like I did a ton of research and was pretty prepared until I brought these babies home. I had chosen to go with the heating pad mock hen as a heat source but couldn't get the temp...

    Sexing Polish Chicks

    I’m getting a few polish chicks to add to my flock but nobody local sells sexed polish. I want all girls since roosters will just be given away. What are signs for polish when they are 1-3 days old? I’ve heard of something with the wings but I also heard that every breed is different. I’m...

    Polish Chick's Crest

    I have a few Polish chicks and all seem to be exhibiting normal and full crests except one who has a few small spots in which its crest fuzz is gone. I'm afraid the others might be plucking at it or maybe there might be another cause? I was away all day and when I came home their bowl was empty...

    My chick doesn't seem to be growing

    About how much should a five-week old Polish chick weigh? I have a lone Tolbunt Polish chick, "Shorty", that was the only survivor out of a clutch (eggs I bought online). I got him a buddy, the only one I could come up with in a hurry, something allegedly Silkie x Orpington. The buddy is now...
