The hens were always sweet, but not the male. Oh my goodness, I would be using some ear plugs or something with those things. That would get really annoying hearing that every morning. I'm happy with the rooster crowing in the morning.
My uncle had them when I was growing up, he lived only a couple of minutes away, and he had those mean son of a gun genies. I hated those things with a passion, especially when he had a hen sitting on eggs in a cage right by the door to the chicken pen. And of coarse there was daddy right on top...
I always loved being around chickens when I was a child. I thought it was always fun gathering the eggs and watching them as they would play football with a snake or worm. I never in my wildest dreams ever thought that I would have chickens. But that is what made my daughter happy, and raising...
I have two different kinds of wyandottes in the flock. Which they are still young, but the adult hens seem to take to them just fine. I had never had a EE before either, but I do have three Ameraucanas. Only one is the way you talk, but my other two are totally different from that. I wasn't able...
Him and my Blue Lace Red Wyandotte are the only two that are easy to catch. Well besides one more BLRW rooster that I have, but he won't be around very much longer. I have what I guess is an Easter Egger, he is a brat to try and catch. That is how my hens are, I can't walk onto the back porch...
Yes, its Powder Puff. I tried to get a picture of his eye, but in the picture it showed it to be all orange. For some reason the camera won't pick up the lines, it just brings out the color. He is sweet heart, and the easiest to catch. Everytime I go walking into the pen, here he comes strutting...
Mine has bright yellow eyes with orange lines running around. I may need to try and get a picture of his eyes, its hard to describe what they look like.
When I first seen a Polish, I thought they were funny looking. But now that I have one, I'm SOOOOO in love with the polish breed. They are to darn cute!
Thankfully we don't have a rooster ban here, I live in a small town. We're allowed to have chickens, just as long as people don't start complaining about the smell. And we can have a rooster, with the same rules apply. We have 7 roosters right here on our block, everyone loves hearing them.
They are the same age, I don't know their age. But I really don't care, their just all really pretty. Thank you for that information, I will keep that in mind and watch them.
I think it would be neat if the kids were able to show whatever kind they want. Instead of the cochins, heavy cochins, bantams, Bron Browns and RIRs. After a while people get tired of seeing them, and need a variety to see. That way people also know about other breeds that are out there. I'm...
When you look under his wings, there is a lace pattern going on. My daughter is going into 4H, and I have asked the lady who is the leader about it. She said that she doesn't know much about the polish breed either. In all the years that I can remember of our local fair, no one has ever showed a...
