Really need to get some updated pics as my polish are now 6 years old. Still laying...
Could you get a pic of the tail please? Chocolate does not look too big on the wattles but 8 weeks can some times be a tad early to tell for sure.
Are the 3 birds in front 8 weeks also?
They often do look different between the silver lace and other colours. I've found when I've hatched silver lace out they have looked a bit..... not quite sure how to describe it but....... more slender? Not as round a crest? Not as much of a crest?
As you can see in the pics below the silver...
Hi :welcome & the thread :frow Love your pic by the way!
I agree with @oldhenlikesdogs some just don't ever the lose the overreacting part. Each and everyone of my polish all have their own characters. Some spook at the slightest of things and others are steady away and don't seem fazed by...
I'm not sure why but I've only just got a notification for the thread and it seems I have missed quite a few posts :idunno
Thank you both, very much :D
I'm afraid this can happen and they will likely stay this way. Once the feathers are pretty much through that will be the shape of the...
I'm not very good with colours :( Here is a chart that may help ~ http://kippenjungle.nl/kruising.html I did breed WCB with silver lace and I got solid black or solid white chicks.
Congratulations :celebrate Dory is beautiful :love
Dust!! I use a vacuum for that. I have an old one that I use to vac my coops and brooding shed out with. The vac does not spread it like sweeping ;)
Hope you are able to get some polish Banti, they are super cool birds :love I think you would love them!!
:gig
I'm OCD with things like that!! I'm the same with the horse and I have a sweeping obsession!! I like cleaning coops out and the like, it's just nice to see them tidy. Yes I'm weird :hide If I were closer I would happily clean it up for you :D Its the satisfaction after its done that's good.

I've just popped out and taken these pics, they are coming on really well thank you and I can see some white feathers coming :D
Some I have to say are not Tolbunt :/ Can't see no white feathers coming in some of them. There are a couple of Pekin in there with them too, don't want you all...
Love those glasses! :cool:
Very nice :D I have a couple of gold lace with white in their crest, seems to be a blip in their colouring rather than being a Tolbunt. My Tolbunt chicks are a totally different colour to how my gold lace hatched.
Sorry to hear about the fire, how devastating :hugs...
