    Silkie or Silkie/Polish cross?

    These chicks hatched June 9th. I know it's way too early to tell what the genders are, so I'm not thinking about that yet. I am curious about coloring/breed though. The pen these two came from have a splash silkie hen, black silkie hen, buff laced hen, mottled cochin. We also have silkie roos...

    Hello! I have two Polish growouts from the same breeder. I'm trying to identify what color pattern theirs would be considered to be? I've seen others with the same black and white color variation described as tolbunt, but the tolbunt I know of is tricolor. Are these two a form of tolbunt, or...

    Pullet or Cockerel? Polish Edition!

    These three are about 7-8 weeks old (roughly) and happily free ranging in the yard. I've never raised polish birds from chicks before so I'm not sure how to tell their sexes at this age. I'm guessing, though, that #1 is a cockerel and #3 is a pullet. No clue on #2. What are your thoughts?

    Not fully feathered but warm weather!

    Hey friends! I have 12 chicks that are roughly 4 weeks old. Some have all their feathers (Brahma, Guineas) and the rest are close. Should it be ok to go ahead and put them outside? I have 10 other hens that are ahead in age by 2 weeks that are all outside. My only concern is I know Polish are...

    This IS a cockerel, right?

    I'm planning on selling these six week old chicks because I'm certain they're cockerels and I can't have that many roos where I am but I wanted some other opinions and to double check because I genuinely love both of them. The red one is probably an olive egger and the black and white one is...

    3 cockerels in NE FL- Middleburg outside of Jax

    3 jerk cockerels- they’re actually great roosters, but hate me. They do a great job protecting their girls and finding tasty treats for them. I just have too many and am combining all my hens into 2 runs with only 2 roos. Jethro is an Ayam Cemani- this is a rare fibromelanistic breed (the rarest...
