I have to talk POLISH!

[seminolewind]

thanks so much ... this is so helpful... I bought the tar but havent figured out how to use it.... I appreciate it.... and knowing that it wears off is great

I just take a paint brush and brush some on. It helps if you leave it in the sun for a while.

I have a question I just can't remember.  It is still fairly cold here in NH and it gets to be 40-45 here at the moment.  I have the three polish babies upstairs in the guest room where they will stay for a while until I feel they are old enough to get outside.  My question is how long would you leave them under the heat light??? a couple weeks?? a month??? I just can't remember how long we need to use the heat lamp for.  My last batch of chicks were summer chicks so it was warmer here so I would love a reminder of the time frames necessary if you don't mind 
thanks 

You have to watch them. If they continuously move away from the heat, I usually raise the lamp a bit, and keep doing that. Outside, personally I think heat would be needed if it was 40 out. Most people say that when they've got their feathers they can go out.

I just found her on fb, look on fb under poultry groups in your area. There's hundreds in my neck of the woods...also look on craigslist ...I hope to be getting eggs from all my new guys by halloween...

Ive not had these colors nor have I seen them in person but since I already have polish I feel better prepared this time around...they can be delicate. Keep me in mind if you dnt find any...I plan on breeding pure crele and blue polish. Other breeds too...good luck with finding any
