11 Week Polish Chicks

[Crazy Maizie]

But I have had polish that have had the lovely little Pom Pom and thought definitely a hen, but then they suddenly got the messy hair do (pic below) actually, looking back on my pics, the gold laced one could be a pullet.View attachment 2862765

Oh my, is your polish a house chicken? What's the front of this one look like?

Morning
No they are not house chickens, I have them in the house until they are about 8 weeks old then they move outside. The only trouble I have is keeping them outside we have 3 dogs so our back door is always open, so my chickens casually just stroll in whenever they want I’ll get some pictures of his face and post them.

Those wattles indicate that he is a cockerel

I did think that at first, but with them only being a very pale pink I have a polish exactly the same, I was convinced she was a cockerel….until she laid an egg!!

But it's the age that the wattles matter. This bird is only six weeks old. A pullet wouldn't have wattles this young
