    I have to talk POLISH!

    from what I've always been told, this is passed on from generation to generation, which is why some strains of the same breed lay heavy and others don't.

    Polish Thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    pretty is a female. ugly is a male. the mutant is a cross breed, it has feathers on the legs. look for wattles to tell male or female, but it is bearded, so it may not be accurate.
