    Tolbunt Polish

    Haha, I'm in the throes of hatching season so it's all roosters in deck at my house! I've got three tolbunt cocks active this spring in my breeding pens. Later this spring I might sell you one. I could also sell you some chicks since you're so close. Mine are still a project (as many are), so I...

    While replying to your post, I noticed you are near the Lubbock area. I am near Amarillo!

    Tolbunt Polish

    Quote: The quickest way is going to be getting a tolbunt rooster. Breed the golden hen to the tolbunt rooster and keep back all pullets that come out tolbunt. Breed them back to the rooster. From there, she should be on her way. I always like to keep some goldens or goldens splits though to...

    Have you considered showing them?

    Tolbunt Polish

    You can show them, but because they aren't an accepted variety by the APA, the best you can win is Best Variety. (Technically I guess you could win BB if the only polish at the show are Tolbunts? You'd have to ask someone else about that). You can't win an APA sanctioned show with a Tolbunt...

    Tolbunt Polish

    Although that might be a bit higher than some other sellers, it's really not bad compared to trying to purchase a breeding pair. Around here, a so-so pair runs around $150 (if you can find them for sale). One time, I managed to get 5 chicks for $100, but the seller was getting out of the variety...

    Tolbunt Polish

    Hi! I love your birds, but I'd say find a new batch if you are wanting to work the Tolbunt project. Don't get me wrong, I've got a ton of crosses on my place and they're all great. However, anything with a barring gene is going to really hurt you genetically if you're working on Tolbunts. It was...

    Tolbunt Polish

    I can't promise that I am giving you the best advice, but I'll do my best. Right now, Tolbunts are considered a red/golden laced bird with the mottling gene. Creles and candy corns have a barring gene. The mottling gene and the barring gene have different effects on the color pattern on the...

    Tolbunt Polish

    Tolbunt polish are not an accepted variety yet, so they're not technically "show quality." You can take some and win BV at shows that have Tolbunts. I think it's a great idea to show them, even if you can't win, if for no other reason to spread knowledge about them. The PBC Tolbunt committee...

    the black crested white polish project

    Glad to see someone is still working on them! I've considered it, but I'm not sure if it's above my pay grade, frankly. @kysilkies keep me posted. If you have some success, I may need some pointers down the road!

    Silkied Ameraucana eggs Lavender and Black split to Lavender

    Do you have a website or FB? Right now I'm working on a Polish project, but I already have some Ameraucanas and EEs. This sounds intriguing!

    ***OKIES in the BYC III ***

    We have 5 rain barrels for water storage too! I would love to get one of the bigger ones soon. These days we use them to water the lawn and the garden, but it's nice to know we've got them just in case. I actually got chickens "just in case" and now they're becoming a serious hobby alongside my...

    Tolbunt Polish

    Here's part of my problem, these little fellows didn't have any back feathers and part of their crests were picked out when I picked them up. I posted them on some FB pages, and it appears that almost everyone has concluded they're all roosters. I know I've got bad luck, but 4/4 is too hard for...

    Am I allowed to ask for help with sexing 10wk Tolbunts? Don't want to post if it's not appropriate.
