polish

Newbie to BYC 😊 Here's a little bit about myself. (1) I've been raising chickens most of my life, so over 20 years. Not really sure when I officially started raising my own but I do know it was my mother's fault 😂 (2) Does it make sense that I don't currently know how many I have? 😅. I count...

We just had quite a few very bad tornadoes in my town. A large chunk of my town is destroyed, and lickily where I live didn’t get hit and my chickens are okay, but the storms here were really bad and I was at work. I have three hens, two bantams and a polish, and they are all screaming their...

Hi friends! I need to vent because I’m still not over what happened. I know McMurray has a great reputation, people generally love them. However I had a horrible experience with them exactly a week ago and it’s just weighing heavily on my mind. I had ordered 10 silver polish, a color I do not...

Good morning chicken friends. My fiancé went out to the barn to find that our polish girl was laying on a whole clutch of eggs!! I saw her getting covered by our only rooster, a large black Sumatra, just a few days ago. Is it possible for her to have fertilized eggs that will hatch chicks, since...

Im looking to buy a few serama, polish, and frizzle eggs to hatch.

TW-pic is a little gruesome hey all i went out to my chickens this morning and found my favourite chicken acting off. upon further discovery i have found an open wound on her back just above her tail. i suspect she has been attacked by one of my bigger chickens as she cannot fully see so...

The Results Are In Every year we wait for a silly ground hog to predict the weather. And of course he is never correct. Well, forget about that silly ground hog who is never right. Pennsylvania Phyllis has been 100% correct in her predictions to date. She has made her prediction for 2022...

I pressed the wrong button when doing an online shipment of Polish chicks and other crested chicks. In summary I need to distribute about 20 Polish chicks ASAP. Arrival date is expected to be Feb 9. They will be newly hatched. Please help. I feel silly. I am currently open to advice, creative...

Hey my polish hen (1y/o). Has been limping for a while and we noticed her leg at the joint was swollen. We’ve been trying to keep her comfortable to heal but recently we noticed a growth/bump on the same leg but not by the joint. She doesn’t have this bump on her other leg. Any ideas what it is?

Hi, so I have this guy… supposedly a white crested Cuckoo Polish but he obviously has another colour tone mixed in. My questions: Is their a name for this colour pattern ? If I breed to a standard white crested cuckoo hen am I going to get gold colour leakage ?

hi again amazing people! i’m after peoples suggestions on how to help my gorgeous polish girl!! she has a very very big and wide crest and is finding it very hard to see and make her way around because of it. this is resulting in her not eating or drinking until i take her to it and also...

hey all!! i am very new to the whole polish breed and these are my first two. they are about 7 weeks and i know usually that’s quite early to tell the gender how ever my two have extremely different crests to each other so i thought this may be a way of sexing them?? any help would be great :))

One of my polish hopped the fence and explored the woods behind our yard, which they don't usually do. She didn't return to the barn. We didn't know she wasn't in until we heard a racket outside. She is alive with three skinning injuries, a few scrapes, and a single tiny puncture wound. We have...

Hi! I need help sexing my three new chicks: lavender bantam Orpington, mottled polish and white polish, all 4 weeks old. Thanks!

Hi all! while doing my weekly cleaning of my brooder, I noticed one of my 4-5 week old crested polish has a little dried blood on her head feathers. Is this normal? Her sister is fine. They are in a brooder with 3 silkie chicks, 2 Russian Orloff chicks and 2 Black Langshan chicks. All are about...

Hey there, i breed polish chickens, and I got ducklings a few weeks back. I’ve noticed that the ducks have no grown up and cause a huge mess 💩😭, and polish hens need a dry environment, do you recommend I sell the ducks/ make them a new coop? are ducks even suitable to keep with chickens...
