    Polish genes when crossing polish to other breeds??

    Seemingly white crested black polish born with a 99.5% black crest?

    the pictures arent the best, but my post is referring to the only all black chicken in the brooder. i personally like the looks a totally black polish better than one with a white tophat. however, until this year's adoption grab bag/late hatchers, i didnt think that even existed... I most...
