Yes thays what I thought, I've been reading so much recently and my hunch was right

Hi there
I am Natalie from the UK and I am new to chickens.
Just got a lone baby Polish from a friend whose hen disappeared and have been raising him/her for a weeks now. My son named it Kylo Ren LOL
I felt bad about him being on his own so I sourced a couple of Light Sussex to join us also :)...
