Can anyone identify this variety of Polish?

I got some Polish chicks from the feed store the other day. They had buff laced, golden laced, silver laced... but I have no idea what this is. Her fuzz is bright orange, and she's got a black dot on her head.


Thanks

Sorry but it doesn't look like it is even a polish chick. There should be a top knot on it and I do not see one.

I have to agree, I raise almost all breeds of polish and that is not a polish chick. Sorry!

I think its just the way the picture was taken, as I can see the polish type nares on its beak. Can you get a side picture of it?

Look at the way her down grows on top of her head...she most definitely does have a topknot.

Maybe a small one, but it is suppose to be and able to definately see the top knot all over and not just small like that. I have Polish crosses that have that small type of top knot. So I still say not Polish, maybe a cross.

She may just not be well endowed on top. xD

I assure you, she is a Polish! There were several of these of this variation in the brooder, and they all had their little poofs. I picked this one because she had an especially calm and friendly disposition, even though she wasn't as "endowed". Here is another picture.



Thanks for all the replies for far

Did they come from Ideal hatchery? I know you said from a feed store, but di they get them from Ideal? Reason I ask is that I have heard that they (Ideal) has the red variety and they do not always have a real good top knot. Maybe she (or he) will develope an better one later. By the way in the new photo I can see the creast a little better. Cute chick.
