Are polish good mothers?

[EggShell1]

Hi I am new to the world of chickens
I am wondering if polish are good mothers, I have a hen and roo... I think so i might get babys.
Sorry if I don't have a lot of detail in this. I am simple wondering if they are good moms

I currently have a polish hen taking care of 6 chicks. She has been a sweet and gentle mother who rarely moved off the nest during the incubation process. I would say if you find a hen that is showing signs of boodiness that you seperate her from the rest and let her give it a shot. Because of their docile nature Polish hens can get pushed around a lot by other more aggresve breeds. They will most certainly bully her out of her nest.

This is an old post, but my Polish girl has been very dedicated to her eggs. I was shocked she even went broody. Hatch day is tomorrow, so we will see!
