    Will white crested black polish hens have any blue iridescence in feathers? Silver laced?

    These are 16 weeks old and I still can't tell the gender of the frizzles. The non frizzle in the photo behind is the same age. None of the feathers on the heads of all 3 frizzles come anywhere near that long even if they were straight. The one with the shorter almost non existent wattles has...

    Will white crested black polish hens have any blue iridescence in feathers? Silver laced?

    I could get another picture but didn't want to crawl in there to catch it. Has wattles you can see from side. But the feather length is nowhere near the definite non frizzle rooster behind it.

    Will white crested black polish hens have any blue iridescence in feathers? Silver laced?

    I have a batch of polish chickens of various colors 11 weeks of age. 3 of the white crest blacks are frizzles and look incredible. They all look almost identical except one has much smaller wattles and they have varying degrees of blue iridescence in some feathers. They all have some blue...

    Polish Chicken Breeding Color Question

    I thought with the black and blue crested if they are crossed they yield percentages of each? As for the silver and gold laced I think the hens can only hold one gene color so they have to be either silver or gold laced but the males can have both silver and gold with the silver showing more...

    Polish Chicken Breeding Color Question

    I got a really good hatch way more than expected from mail order eggs of polish chickens. I have 2 to 3 of each the below colors but I haven't identified hens vs roosters yet but that is irrelevant at this point. I was just wondering which colors I want to keep together and separate down the...

    Safeguard for goats

    Sorry I am asking this which has been asked before but I just don't want to mess this up. Also it seems liek the info has changed over the years when it comes to giving medicine so I don't want to be following old info. AM I better off giving the chickens 1ml per bird on a piece of bread every...

    Broody.net incubators? Anybody ever use one.

    Anybody ever use one of the incubators from broody.net (Ukrainian based company). They seem way better made then the cheaper Chinese made incubators on Ebay ( I own 2 different ones). I have tried these on Ebay eggs and had terrible results. After about 5 attempts with 12 eggs each I have had...

    Broody hen with mail order eggs question.

    I have 2 hens that may have been broody for a week or 2. I mail ordered some eggs to get silver laced polish. I was going to incubate them in the incubator but wouldn't it be so much better to place them under the hens. Since they have been broody for a little while now is this a bad idea? i...

    Polish Tolbunt gender help

    If I end up with 2 cockerels which I also think is the case as well I will give one away to anybody in the Groton MA area if interested. At this point I must have the worst luck ever. Out of all chickens I have hatched or purchased unsexed I have ended up with 1 hen and 9 roosters with the...

    Polish Tolbunt gender help

    I was thinking that too. I already have bad luck with rosters but this will take the cake. If they end up being roosters I will part with 2 of them in the Groton MA area if anybody is interested. The saddle feathers look identical to me on 1 and 3 in person. But the direction the tail...

    Polish Tolbunt gender help

    I have to be the worst at identifying chickens genders ever and have the worst luck with getting roosters. In hatching and raising my own silkie chickens I have had 7 roosters and 1 hen. Now I have polish and I think have a bunch of roosters again. These 3 are maybe 10 -12 weeks old. 1. The...
