Hi I have 2 separate Polish pens (white crested black and black crested white)but also hope to get a few other varieties and make some fun surprise mixes. What would I need to make candy corn Polish? I was told a goldlaced with cuckoo but I want to hear it from a few other people.

So I order 4 polish chicks from McMurray Hatchery about 3 weeks ago and only 1 is completely healthy. I've lost 2😔
I lost these 2👇
White - failure to thrive
Silver laced - runt with deformed toe got trampled. Half the size of other chicks
White crested black has a crossbeak
Buff laced is the...
I have two Polish chicks, a golden laced named Izalith and a Buff Laced named Buffy, who are around 6 weeks old, and I'm wondering what sex they are. I don't see any combs developing yet and they are both very friendly which I'm not sure is significant or not but yea 🤷♀️
I've attached some...
One of my Polish hens started walking funny the other day and I noticed the pad of her foot was bigger than the other.
Since then she has a bad limp, there’s a bump on the bottom of her foot that’s pinkish and now her leg is starting to swell and it’s all warm.
I thought it might be bumblefoot...
A while ago, i decided to try and hatch some chickens from our flock. I let 7 eggs incubate. all of these eggs were mixed with white crested black polish, as that was our only roo. of 7 eggs, 5 hatched. i was so happy about this. we hatched:
2 white ameraucana eggs
1 buff ee egg
1 white silkie...
Updated photos of our chicks! After a few questions on breeds, I think we nailed it…maybe. Now we are (not so patiently) waiting to find out genders.
Speckled Sussex
BW Crested Polish
Black Australorp
Barred Cochin
Appenzeller Spitzhauben
White Ameraucana (because the legs are gray)
I'm ordering some polish chicks to replace some other chicks that a dog attack took from me and I'm reading mixed reviews. Some people love them, some people say they just die at the drop of a hat.....I have silkies and crevecoeurs so I'm familiar with crested birds I just need to know if I...

Thought it might be fun to connect with others from the Commonwealth! I'm from Gloucester (essentially Tidewater). A happy victim of chicken math, I have 3 Delawares, 3 Columbian Wyandottes, 4 Isa Browns, 4 Golden Polish, and 3 Golden Penciled Hamburgs. My first flock raised from chicks.... week...
I've got two silkies that are almost 4 months old now. I'm suspecting that the light colored one is a male and the darker brown MIGHT be a pullet. I've never had silkies before so I'm unfamiliar with their development. Although one is growing a comb already so like I said, I do think it's a he...
Hello!
so I have 2 almost 6 month old buff laced polish. Currently all my other girls are laying and had to switch to layer feed because we were having issues with egg quality. My question is, because my polish aren’t laying at all yet. Is the layer feed bad for them? We were in All flock...
I have 3 silkies and 1 polish that is a crowing his head off the past 2 weeks.
Today when I let them out to roam, he is literally chasing the silkies around like a mad man. He chased Vanilli right into the run, all through the run and back out again.
Then he came over to Mango and tried to...
Any ideas on genders? They are 5 weeks old. I know it's a bit too early but I need to know which chicks I can get attached to...
Darwin is my chamois frizzle. S/he has a flat but round crest. The under-beak is still pink. I've always wanted a chamois polish so I really hope for a girl...
We have this single lil one hatched under a broody hen. Started with 8 eggs, only two passed the 18 day test and this one is only hatched. Wondering if we have an Ana or Oleg? ( granddaughter had the task of naming) :celebrate
