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
White crested...
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...
Hi everyone, my first flock which consists of 4 Creme Leg Bars and 2 polish. Can you tell gender? I think the polish with white head feathers is a cockrel....what do you think?
We just had a polish chick hatch yesterday and one hatch earlier today the newer chick is walking around fine but the first chick just kinda scoots around the incubator. His legs were kinda stiff this morning but are not loosened up to where they can fully extend he just like drags himself...

I currently breed D'uccles but have taken a friends splash polish in because she wants some chicks and I have a polish roo. My question is what chicks would we get from a white capped black polish rooster and a splash polish hen? Can anyone explain the genetics and possible chicks we could get...
First time posting so hopefully in the right place!
Hi everyone, I just have a few questions about my rooster for people who have some rooster experience.
Currently, I have 1 silkie rooster(10 months) and 2 hens, one barred rock hen(5 1/2) and a 3/4 bantam polish 1/4 cream legbar hen(9 months)...
I have three polish bantams, they’ve all gotten a burn on their heads from the heat plate overnight despite it being raised according to their growth, I’ve put it up again since the burns showed up 3 days ago. I cleaned them daily with saline & I am spraying their heads with anti-peck spray...
I have 3 white crested black polish bantams, two are frizzles, one is not. Anyway that’s not the point, they hatched 8 days ago and they have the craziest personalities. Every time I open the brooder they fly out to sit on my lap, they’re constantly jumping on and off the top of the brooder...
Hi All. I’d love second opinions re sexing! I keep going 50/50 on what they are! I’m leaning towards rooster for the black one, (massive compared to my other one, starting to have red in the face) but the hair doo is making me think it’s a girl as it’s so circular! 🫠🤪
These are both the same...
Hello!
I am a member of 4-H and have been showing chickens at the fair for 10 years (this is one of my last years). I have had polish chickens before and they are definitely one of my favorite breeds. I would love to get some polish chicks soon so I can show them at the fair this summer, however...
