How many generations will it take for a Polish Swedish hen cross to have a polish body with a Swedish hen feather pattern?

I have read that in the Polish chicken breed that you should only have five or six hens per rooster is this correct? I know for other breeds of chickens it is 10/ 1.

From what I understand on guessing gender photos 1 and 2 are female. Photos 3 and 4 are male. Does anyone know if the gender is right? Thank you

I bought 3, 7 wk old BLRW on June 24th. They looked health other than dull looking feathers. Then next day one died. Nothing looked to be wrong with the bird. I thought It might be heat stroke. On the 2nd I notice another one of the new birds with low energy. Moved the bird into the house. Nest...
