Thanks!! He's such a sweet thing not at all nasty hoping he will pass that on to his off spring. Sorry about your loss to a predator before you could get another frizzle, I know how it feels

Hey there! Congrats, was it a 4-H showing or a a judging to the breed standard? Either way I can't wait to see photos!

I'm afraid most of my Polish are molting right now, so, not many photos here, haha.

4-H showing. Oh okay

Wow, that's one nice silver laced! Not every day I see one who doesn't have a squirrel tail. Man I miss having frizzles around here. Had a frizzled rooster, then got a daughter from him, had some offspring from her after her frizzled dad died, but sadly none of them ended up being frizzled and before I could get one, a predator took her too.

Squirrel Tail???

Squirrel Tail???

Its where the tail is carried. Anything past 90 vertical is considered squirrel tail, so the tail is so far up, it is leaning towards the head. Japanese bantams carry the trait for example.

Squirrel Tail???

A tail held straight up or over the back, like on this young cockerel:



An older, better example. . . Both of these boys have a squirrel tail, despite the frizzle seeming not to.
