Can Polish be put with other chickens?

[BizzyB]

I was thinking of getting at least one Silver Laced Polish to go in my new flock but was wondering if it was safe since they’re so skittish? The new flock so far has a Welsummer, a Dominicker, a Rhode Island Red, and an Easter Egger. I don’t want to get a Polish and have it be tortured by the others in the flock

Some people have reported that when only one or two birds in the flock are crested, they get picked on. I say go for at least two polish

I think the saying “birds of a feather flock together” has a lot of truth to it. I also think age of all the chicks will play an important factor.

"Maybe." Some folks have fancy feathered breeds with regular breeds without issue. Some find that the fancy birds get picked on and tormented by other breeds.

Do you have room to add a separate, Polish breed only set up if it doesn't work out, or are you willing to rehome the Polish if it doesn't work out?
- If answer is yes to either, then it's up to you if you want to go for it.
- If answer is no to both, then I'd recommend against it.
