Well, this is the first time this Polish has had chicks of her own. Today once Iarrived home from work I went out to check (Today is hatch day) and low and behold someone had hatched while I was gone. But she wasn't in the nest O.o So I nudged her back over to mom and mom pecked her! Again and...
Well, I've had Polish for many years now but I've always kept them on some sort of rough surface that filed down their nails. Now that we've switched over to saw dust and grass I have to begin trimming their nails. I'm very worried though, I don't want to cut to much and I don't really know how...
Just wondering if anyone else has a fancy for carving eggs. I've been trying to find a drill around here but I may just end up using our shop drill lol. Any of you guys out there have pictures of your products?

Well as you know Polish don't go broody very often so I've been getting excited seeing my hen lay in the nesting boxes more than usual. Although I'm not sure if this is just her trying to coax out an egg or if she's trying to go broody.
Here is her schedule
Morning- Off nest to eat
Mid...
Well I am doing a little experiment with my Polish but I've collected the eggs that are more in likely fertile. Now its been about 4 days since collection. Are these eggs still going to be fertile? I've actually never thought about this before :P So I'm relatively clueless when it comes to...
Well I've had Polish for a few years now not once have I had a broody normally I end up passing down the eggs to our silkies. Although I've heard of a few of you out there lucky enough to get a broody Polish. I've never attempted this before but I've read it on multiple sites that you just let...
I just decided to get a Polish directory up and running because I really needed one of these a few months ago when I was looking to introduce a new breeding pair. Any who, nothing extravagant just a little directory book of all you Polish Breeders out there. You can private message me or email...
Well, we got chicks ^^ But I've had chicks before and they were very calm, loved to be held etc. This time they are the most skittish things! Freak out when I put my hand down in to add food, peep and squirm like crazy when being held. Afraid to peck at any new food I've put in there for a...
This morning we went to pick up our new Polish chicks. They're straight run but I'm thinking 4 of them are roo's based on personality and size etc. But I'm not positive I'm hoping they're just tough hens xD
I guess I just had to finally post that I got them after 6 long weeks. They're doing...
Well, I'm considering nipple waterers for our chicks but, I want to get others opinions about them.
First off do they leak a ton?
I've seen pictures and videos and it looks like it doesn't provide enough water to the chicken, is that true?
How easy is it to teach the chicks to use them. The...
I'm needing some new nipple waterers and I don't want to do alot of running around in search for one. Does anyone know if IFA or Cal-Ranch carry any nipple waterers?
Thanks in advance, QP.
Okay so, I've developed a small theory and it's usually what I go by when I get Polish chicks. It seems to be working well xD I just want to see if any of you have done it this way and has it been accurate.
--My situation --
I Just ordered some polish chicks from a breeder and he says he'll...
I've never done this with young chicks so I need a little schooling.
My problem - I have three 2 week old Polish chicks that have been together since hatching but I'm getting 4 more from a breeder here in the next day or so. They're obviously young about 1-3 days old and I'm afraid they'll get...
I've been hunting for sometime now for new Polish chicks. I'm wanting quality chickens coming from a caring breeder.
I'm mainly looking for coloring along the lines of - Silver Laced, Buff Laced, and Tolbunt.
Please, if you have any dont be afraid to message or email me.
Thank You QP
