Thats what I saw but I have seen some people down the road have polish and those polish seem fine,so I'm not sure. and what does cold mean? 30 degrees or 10 degrees. it depends on your point of view,and meyer hatchery is in polk,ohio so I guess pretty cold?

I live in NE Ohio and have polish as well. Theyre in an enclosed shed without heat. They have access to the outside.My bantam WCB hens will choose to roost outside even in temperatures below freezing. The only way that polish are more suceptible to more breeds to cold is if the crest gets wet. We combat this by using the beak waterers. Very cheap, attach to a waterbottle, and save us cleaning and freezing crests!
