Is it feasible to add polish hens to a flock with other breeds without injury? I have plenty of run space so crowding should not be an issue, I plan on ordering 6 (hopefully at least 2 being hens). I will be raising them with ameraucana chicks then later integrate with my established flock.
I have a Polish Rooster who got live a couple weeks ago, I’ve treated the whole flock, and coop, everyone else is fine expect poor Seymour. I don’t see signs of lice but he’s loosing neck feathers, he seems tired, his skin looks scabby and irritated, and now tonight his eyes look swollen and has...
We have had a very busy past couple of weeks so we thought skipping posting a week of updated pictures would be reasonable!
Kyle has been sick for the past week and I just had surgery yesterday, so we've been feeling pretty run down! Last night I sat down in a chair in the backyard and Kyle was...
Southern Maine Polish Chicken Folk,
I’m hoping to find someone wanting a Polish Rooster, Buff laced, Hatch Date 5/28/25. Forgive my photo, he’s actually tall when standing. He’s absolutely lovely, gentle as can be! Please contact me. I’m in Yarmouth area
We appreciate all the kind replies to our posts! We're so happy to be able to share our new backyard hobby within this community! We wanted to share our updated photos of our young flock and ask some questions about our new additions.
Over the weekend, we took a road trip to a farm where we got...
I have two 9 week old roosters/cockerels in need of new homes. Purebred gold laced polish and purebred lavender orpington purchased from a local breeder. I adore them both but have too many roos.
Hi everyone! I’m in Franklinton NC, just north of Raleigh and have a surprise rooster I am hoping to rehome. He is a blue polish, 16 weeks old, friendly with people and currently not aggressive with my 5 hens. My neighborhood doesn’t allow roosters and unfortunately my order for 6 hens from...
I’m checking back in after a long time away, it's been years since I was last active here, and I’m excited to rejoin the flock!
I’m writing from Hawaii, where. I've raised chickens for 42 years now. It’s truly been a lifelong passion. These days, I focus on a few select breeding projects that...
First of all, is it common to crossbreed a Silkie and Polish?I don't think so.
So, I have the chick that I’m hopping to get soon.
The fact that it is silky makes it difficult to determine its gender.Those of you with experience, what do you think?
Hiiii! I’m (kinda) new to being a chicken mom/owner lol and I just cannot tell which gender my polish are lol I believe the Orpington is a cockerel but posting it anyways to get some confirmation lol or maybe I’m wrong! thanks so much!!
Hello! I have three Polish roosters that were gifted to me.
The one that does not have the best head feathering I believe is a candy corn. Not sure on the other two colors but I believe they are good quality. I think one’s a silver and the lighter candy corn ish color I’m not sure- please tell...
My 6 yr old granddaughter wanted chickens, which means now Nana has chickens and I have spent 3 months learning to chicken. 🤣 Started with polish and expanded to ISA’s and RIR’s. I have learned its a slippery slope…
I have combed the forums tried to compare pictures with others who have posted...
I bought straight run polish and Houdan chickens and I’m pretty sure they are all girls besides my golden laced polish.? Am I correct… He at the bottom of the totem pole(hence his missing feathers) I also think my ameraucana might be a Male and not a hen.
Mottled houdan-10 weeks

I have a 4wk old polish chick and she has developed a case of wry neck. I got the selenium, administered it 2x yesterday and 1x this morning. I’ve been dripping her water from a syringe with poultry cell mixed in. She gets random spirts of energy and will try to eat her food like normal, but...
Hello there,
I have these two Polish Chicks that I got from a breeder on May 24. They are both different ages. I was supposed to get 10 days old chicks but by the time I arrived there they were all sold, so after some persuasion he gave me some of the chicks he spared for himself. I asked how...
I have six polish chicks and I'm pretty certain on all but one. This one has some red in it's wattles and comb though not much compared to the one I'm certain is a cockerel. It also has a less rounded crest so I've been leaning towards cockerel in the past couple days but I'm not sure. So I...
Hey all!! We got our chicks from a local feed store, marked pullets, but I know mistakes can happen. What I want to know is, are these 2 Polish roosters??? Their tail feathers look different from the others and they seem to be standing up taller than everyone else. The chicks in question are the...
