We have 3 polish hens (12 weeks) and we bought 6 Easter Eggers (now 4 weeks). Does anyone see any problems in introducing them together when the Easter Eggers when they are ready to go outside?
I have a what’s supposed to be 4 month old Maran that’s huge. I got her and 2 polish chickens that are supposed to be 2-3 months old. The Maran is too big to be with the polish hens. She may even be bigger than my 3 year olds. Has anyone had a less stressful way of introducing new hens to your...
Howdy, my little Ric Flair (Splash Polish Roo) recently mated 2 of my Houdan girls and my Faverolle female.
What would their offspring look like?

I have a hen I treated for bumble foot a few weeks ago. Today I was giving her feet a look over when she peed on me.. except I thought chickens didn't pee?
I was holding her with her back to my chest with one hand so I could un curl and inspect her left foot with my other. She was fighting me a...
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...
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?
First time chicken owners and we are loving our 4 Polish chicks. Anyone want to take a guess at their sex? I have attached photos at 1 week (ish) and 3 weeks (ish). I also commit to coming back to update when we know for sure if they are Roos or Hens.
I am a newbie here! Got four silkies about 4 months ago. I believe I have 3 hens and 1 roo (but obviously cant be sure, but I am 99% sure). We got 3 polish hens today. My question is, what is the best way to integrate the polish hens with the silkies and when should I do it? The chicks are...

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...
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...
