I have to talk POLISH!

Alright...here is another "what gender am I" conundrum. This is Peanut. I've posted her (

) picture before but she was VERY little. She is about 8 weeks old now and is a buff laced polish. Her crest isn't really super round, but the feathers in it are rounded and blunt and not pointy. No sign of a comb or wattle.

Id say girl since no red comb or wattles forming...

O so very pretty ... Love the photos....

Thank you!

Wow. I love those! Did you hatch them yourself? They are awesome!

Yes, I hatched them.

 

[juststruttin]

The crele color pattern was developed by Doug Kamer and I am not sure how long it took. My birds originated from his line. It took me 2 generations for me to get the crele to the Crele Laced pattern you see in these pictures.

 

[juststruttin]

Juststruttin---do you sell hatching eggs for those?

No sorry, I am not offering eggs yet. My birds are currently only producing 25% crele laced offspring. I plan to develop the line further and release them when they are producing 75-100% crele laced offspring. Perhaps in 2013 or 2014.

Put me on your list if you sell haching eggs!!!! WOW is all I have to say!!! Are they your hobby breed or did you get them from someone...and who

Doug Kamer developed the crele polish and I have been working on adding the lacing. My birds are currently producing 25% crele laced chicks. I hope one or two more generations and 75-100% of the offspring will be crele laced.

That is fine I'll wait till next year

My two cents.....the pink waddles are a boyish sign for sure. The rounder crests are girlish signs, the chef hats are boyish signs.....BUT i have had mohawks and chef hats be girls so I know that one is not always true. No idea on the lacing.....how old? My Golden Laced was about 8 weeks or so when it became more noticeable. My others are solid colors.
Oh and I have a frizzle that I thought was a WCB, and it looks like it is turning cuckoo! Should be awesome. Black face, looks like it is wearing a superhero mask. Praying for this one to be a female. Will get pics up. I see the pink wattles, I am still hoping....BUT this one had a super huge round skull and acts like a girl so time will tell....only 3 1/2 weeks old.

i'm not an expert by any means, the ones in the photo look non bearded if they are non bearded i think they could have bigger waddles even if they are girls; its the bearded ones that seem to almost not have any wattles at all.

I am excited to say that 2 days ago my girls born in Feb. started to lay! I have found one egg so far. I waited because I was trying to upload the picture. No such luck. I lost the cable. We believe Storm is our luck girl.
