    I have to talk POLISH!

    OK, so the Polish thread got locked but I NEED to talk Polish! I've been learning so much about this breed, have my first breeding stock and they're just old enough for me to start getting input on what they bring to the table and then........we get put in Lockdown! So I'm starting this thread...

    Roo was caught in between a grow out pen and fencing

    I've shared my story about how this happened on the Polish thread and Nevadans but now I need some opinions on treating him. So here's what happened..... He is a Polish/Silkie mix that came as an extra ('cause he had a small crest) in 8 Polish I purchased. They have free ranged with all my...

    They moved themselves in...

    I've never had a group of young chickens just move themselves into the big girls coop but tonight when I went out to close everyone up, one of 9 of my 2 month old Polish was on top of the coop with my EE Roo. I'm thinking that's odd since that one is a girl (I've had a couple of the boys try to...

    What IS Mr T????

    Ok, I've posted Mr T when he was much younger. He was in a batch of Polish chicks I bought and he didn't look right but the gal through him in....I know I should have said no.....anyway, he has a mohawk, 5 toes and hair legs! What do you think he is...or IS he something or just a mix?

    What the heck is this?

    I purchased 8 Polish chicks (a few days old) from a breeder. They came to me via the breeders friend who breeds Ameraucana and Marans but had room in her incubator and hatched them for her friend. I agreed to purchase all 8. When I went to pick them up her friend grabbed a chick with a bit of a...

    Blue Jay Eating the Eggs

    I thought one of the chickens was pecking the eggs and then it kind of stopped because I started collecting the eggs more often but then I started finding holes again. Also, the girls started laying in the barn instead of the coop and very adamant about it too. I kept chasing them out and they'd...

    Help!!! AD isn't showing Up

    I posted an ad (after reading the agreement) on the Chickens 8 weeks and older....but it never showed up. I thought maybe it took a few hours to get up and it still showed that I was the last to post. When I clicked on my name the ad showed up but it's still not on the forum. What did I do? I...

My 3 year old granddaughter and I went up to close everyone in for the night and it was just getting dark and this light egg caught my eye!

    Polish Rock Band Gender? Color? UPDATED PICS

    I think I can kinda sorta figure out what colors most of them will be when they grow up by chick comparison pictures I've found on the web but this one has me curious. Anyone know what it might grow up to look like? Also, I think someone told me that you can maybe sex them by their tophat shape...

    Polish Rock Band Gender? Color? UPDATED PICS

    I finally found some Polish that are close enough and of course I bought all 8 because they're straight run. I'm wondering what color they're going to be, hopefully there are three White Crested/Black since that's what I was looking for! Even better if at least those three are pullets! Also...

    What's up with this tail? Breed?

    OK, this girl, about 4 1/2 weeks is supposed to be an Australorp but this one's tail has stuck straight up and bigger then the others I got at the same time and within a week. So do you think this is an Australorp? And...I'm whispering this because I'm on a roll with hatching roo's and buying...

    They say she's a Pullet? Yes? and what Breed?

    Our local feed store was having a hard time getting chicks and then got this order of "brown egg laying chickens" and since I was on a roll with hatching roo's I grabbed some. And then I see one who's comb is growing way too much but I don't know the breed so I'm hoping that's the reason. Chick...

    EE Rumpless?

    One of the chicks that I hatched back in Feb after I lost all my girls seems to be rumpless???? She's always been one to just stay in the group, the only thing that made her stand out was she wasn't the bright black w/green iridescent that the other black chicks had. She has a brown smuttiness...

    EE or EE/BO Girl or Boy?

    I have 4 that look like this. I'm pretty sure 2 are cockerels due to the sprouting of two longer feathers that sprouted on their tails. They only show when the tail is at a certain level but before that I thought they were all pullets. They're either out of my EE hen and EE roo or my buff...

    EE Pullet or Cockerel?

    I'm asking about the white EE on the top (the one on the bottom is a cockerel). It's about 3 months old and while I don't think I see any feathering for a boy like the hatch mate in the picture sports. From what I've read it would be an unusual coloring to be a pullet....I don't want to have to...

    What Breed are these Chicks

    Picked up 4 chicks from our local feed store and they had just gotten 100 "brown egg laying" chicks. The Australorps I could tell but the light colored ones I wasn't sure. They said the choices are Buff Orpington, Sexlink or Rhode Island Red. I picked up two RIR from another feed store a couple...
