I'm wondering the same thing, myself. I have 1 red pullet about 5 mos old and I wish I could find a red rooster to breed her to. The only polish roos I have right now are 1 gold laced smooth, 1 gold laced frizzle (not positive if it's a boy or a girl), and 1 buff laced. I'll prob. breed her to...
OH! NOW I get the droopy saddle feathers! And sure, I will take new pics again with a couple more close ups of the crest as well as a couple side shots. I always thought the one on the right was a pullet until lately the crest started looking "a little bit" pointy. But not too bad. I know it's...
Better pics of the crest? Like how do you mean? I posted quite a few from 2, 3, 4 mos old so the variances are shown and I also have close ups, front view, side view, and view from the top. Not really sure how else to take better pics? What does the droopy saddle feathers mean? I know what...
Drooping saddle feathers? What's that?
Here are a couple pics from when they were younger. The same bird is always on the left and the other bird is always on the right.
I've always thought the one on the left was a boy and the one on the right was a girl. But these last few weeks, "she" has some pretty pointy looking crest feathers. Someone told me that roos have pointy feathers on their crests. Is this true? What sex do you think these 2 are? They are 4 months...
Is it normal for red crested reds to have this much black?? And does anyone else have reds? I just can't find them ANYwhere! :( She's the only one I've got... :' (
Is the white a masking gene? If you breed white to white, will you get nothing BUT white? Does it carry another color? What would happen if I bred white to black? Would I get splash? Mottled? WHat if bred to gold laced? Would it be the start of a tolbunt program?
If I bred it to khaki or...
Wow! Someone posted pics of their champagne polish chickens. They're gorgeous! I asked if they have any for sale. LOL! I also tried to do a search but the only thing I could find was $300 for an adult trio or $25/baby. But they're in St. Louis and I sent a msg and hopefully they'll ship the...
I got the RC red from a local breeder. I've no clue if they were hers or not b/c she's screwed me over more than once & I've heard other people complain about her. Including selling other people's birds under her name, lying about purebreds that are really mixed (this has happened several...
Oh, really? I'll have to try that! :D
Here is April, above, and Afroman, below. The girls named her April b/c she has a "ninja jump" that she does and
it made them think of the teenage mutant ninja turtles and the reporter's name is April and she's a redhead. LOL!
Why isn't her crest...
Does anyone have any eggs they're willing to sell? I'm in central WI and am willing to pay for shipping. I'm not really interested in frizzles but if I get a cpl it's no big deal, and am open to standard [prefered] or bantams. I don't have any bantam right now and for standard I have gold laced...
What do you think I might get if I bred a red crested red to a white crested black? Someone said either black or red, one or the other. You don't think it would end up mottling, do you? What are the crest color options? Is one color dominant over the other? I think a red crested black would look...
Is anyone planning on going to this this weekend? I decided to go here vs the animal auction, even tho it's a 2 hr drive difference. Chickens are cheap enough, I'm not worried about trying to get them cheaper at an auction. I'm used to paying $100-250 for one rabbit, so $2-5 for a chicken is...
