POLISH THREAD Talk about your Polish and post pics of your Polish

[cmsdvm]

OK, all you people who keep e-mailing me, I put another dozen eggs from my show bantams on the BYC auction page: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=5984361#p5984361

Why are they unusable?

They'll be silver based, takes a gold based to make tolbunts. So the sex linked silver males will be usless for them in that project

One of the members has posted some good sexing info on her website located here
http://www.swpoultry.com/CindySite/Welcome.html

However, I got mine at 1 and 2 weeks and was unable to use her method. I have read in numerous posts that roos typically have the mohawk "doo" going on and the females have more of the "boufont". Is this just a wives tale....or is there some reasoning to this? Hopefully it isnt scientifically correct because three of mine have very distinct mohawks and only one has a boufont.

Mine are hatchery stock (from Ideal)..and we are interested in them as pets, not show stock. However...3 roos would clearly be too much for our set up. I have told myself all along though, that if one of the Polish is a roo...I will keep it-but wasnt counting on 3 of the 4.

Thank you SO much for this link! It was a great help! Now I feel like I have at least a little something to grab at to up our odds of getting a female! After reading this thread, I am as excited about adding a GL Polish to our "flock" as our daughter is! Thanks!

Hi guys:

I wonder who can help me? I am looking for any breeder of the area east of U.S., having hatching eggs toulbont polish, frizzle standard polish (any color) for sale. Best be bearded. The dilemma is that I'm from Puerto Rico and some consider PR as part of the U.S. and others not. For those who can help me

my zip code is 00667, Lajas PR.
Thanks, Arkklon.

They do look kinda roo-ish, but don't give up hope yet!

nice............my hen was found dead today. We are taking him back too and getting all of our money back. Good thing I keep my birds away from the new birds. I am soooooo upset. She said she is not home today and we can't come until tomorrow at 3. I am NOT HAPPY.
My kids are so sad.
