    Polish pictures

    Jkraft, your tolbunt looks like she might actually be a Houdan. Does she have 4 toes, or 5?  Even if she has 4, you occasionally see 4 toed birds from hatchery Houdan stock. Her build is Houdan-y. She has 4 toes. After talking to other people I have come to the conclusion she is a polish hen...

    You have a broody Polish! It happens but is rare. I'm hoping my Polish hen doesn't go broody. Almost half my flock is broody right now and we don't need any more babies.
