This used to be a really popular forum thread. I quit using BYC a few years ago- sorry to see it is not being used much anymore. Do we have any breeders on the thread anymore that have kept them for 5 or more years besides me?

do you still sell eggs from these?

I haven't had much issues with them being "weaker", they hatch slower than our WC polish do (and the laced ones even). I don't know if you are talking "puny" on size or vigor- I do not think enough people cull for size on them and that is needed in a breeding program. Not every bird that hatches...

Mine usually start laying between 6-9 month of age, some people have had them go over a year, but I haven't seen that yet. Not sure where you are in MI, but we are in southern lower Michigan and it has just gotten warm in the last week- I would think your girl should start laying soon. Many if...

Polish come in both bantam size and large fowl, which LF are suppose to be minimum 4 lbs for pullets, 6 lbs for cockerels, 4 1/2 lbs for hens, and 6 1/2 lbs for roosters. Tolbunts are normally large fowl, but there are a few breeders working on getting the variety bred down to a bantam size...

Here are some of the WC B,B,C WC Blacks: pic'd are 2 pullets about 5-6 mos old- I REALLY like these 2- one could use better even tone to the leg color and dark nails, one could use less color in the front of the crest (they both could- I just plucked one down some today- will have to pluck...
