I did think about that, but wasn’t sure if it was safe or not for them and couldn’t find any info on it when I googled..Maybe you can put gel?

I did try water initially but once the feathers dried it fell back into her eyesMaybe water?
@Wyorp Rock
Yeah I’ve seen that! Only problem is at the moment she doesn’t have long enough feathers but will give it a try once she gets a bit bigger!I’ve heard of people who use small hair ties (like what you use for babies and small kids) to pull feathers up out of their Polish/Sultan’s eyes.
Awesome! Was hoping to see if anyone had any creative ideas for the time being as trimming and tying aren’t really an option at the moment haha.@JustBabyMargo

Have polish and maybe can give advice to help keep the feathers out of her eyes.
My polish do well with the full size birds. My cockerel had some picking, but he was irritating the hens while on the roost and I think they were teaching him a lesson.
Both of mine can see, so I haven't had to trim.
They have lots of obstacles in the run, so no other chicken can corner them and pick at them.
Cute profile pic.I have never had problem with my "normal" chickens bullying the polishes. I also free range mine so they have plenty of room to hide, and are by no means overcrowded, but they have always fit right in with my mixed flock of LF and bantams, same with my silkies.
I would probably trim the crest, but since that's not an option, once it gets big enough consider putting it in 2 - 3 pigtails instead of one big ponytail. You might be able to do that now.
