    Rooster or Hen - Polish Chicken

    Hi! I have an almost 6 month old polish chicken and want to know if it is a Rooster or Hen. It has a red wattle and it crowed the other day— though I’ve read Hens will sometimes do that if there are no roosters around. Any help would be amazing as I have her/him in with my other 3 hens...

    My polish chicken is almost one and she hasn't laid an egg?

    Our beloved (sort of psychotic--ha!) Polish hen, Pierogi, is almost one year old and hasn't laid a single egg. Our other ladies, born the same day, have been laying for months now. Pierogi has rooster tendencies (a bit aggressive, will try and attack anything that comes near the coop) but is...

    Identifying Bugs / Mites on Chicken?

    Terrible photo I know, but is anyone able to identify these bugs / mites I’ve found on my polish hen? I figure they’re mites but what kind? I see a lot of people have issues with red mites but these look nothing like them to me? And can mites kill a chicken, or cause neurological issues? This...

    Is my 8 week old polish a roo?

    Hey! I have a small flock of “sexed” polish chicks but I’m pretty sure this one is a roo. Please let me know what you think! I want to be sure before I find a new home. He/she still has not crowed yet but has had waddles since 5-6 weeks.

    What Breed? Unusual chick

    I had an awful bobcat massacre that wiped out half of my flock, so we were so excited that one of our remaining eggs hatched. I have no idea what breed she is as we have a few unique guys if you could lend a hand! My roosters were a silver laced polish and a white silkie. My hens were either...

    Polish Hen not sure what's she's doing

    Hi all, I wondered if anyone with experience of Polish Hens could share some insight for me please. I've had chickens a few years, mainly Buff Orpington but I recently got 2 Polish Hens.

    Male or female? They're confusing me

    So I have a polish and a black Sumatra that I'm not entirely confident on the "hen-ness" of anymore. Lol. They are both pretty calm but they're also both the smallest ones in the flock. They're about 15weeks and no one is crowing but their feathers are making me a little suspicious. Any thoughts?

    Hi Everyone, Can someone please advise on dosage for treating an 11 week old polish chick. She’s got wheezing and her legs are to the side and she can’t walk. She’s eating/drinking but beak is getting weird looking and top one is curling a bit. I want to cry.
