Oh no that's such a shame
"She" was a Rooster! Sent him to a new home! Boo hoo
Here is a picture of tail and her crest is a little wet from sprinkler
Hi & the thread Love your pic by the way!I absolutely love these chickens. They are the sweetest, friendliest I have ever owned. They are however somewhat fragile and high maintenance. I show mine so in the off season their crests are put 'up'. I have three frizzles (my favourites) and two smooth coats. They lay medium regular sized eggs and are not prone to go broody. If you have other breeds they tend to get picked on and due to their vision being hindered they can be easy pickings for predators. They love being picked up and stroked and so make great backyard pets Just protect them well.
I agree with @oldhenlikesdogs some just don't ever the lose the overreacting part. Each and everyone of my polish all have their own characters. Some spook at the slightest of things and others are steady away and don't seem fazed by much. Some get lost in the garden and others know the place like the back of their hand. I have certainly found the ones that are more tame are the least tempted to spook. I took in one of my parents polish that was being bullied and because my parents don't really handle their birds she is scared of everything and anything! Talking to them really helps too I have found. It gives them a bit of warning that you are approaching them. As for the bantams and LF, I've found no differences other than size. Although I personally would not put a LF roo in with the bantam girls again. It just looks too much for the little ladies but a bantam roo has no problems with the slightly larger ladies.At what age do they start to calm down and get over their spastic stage? What are the differences between the bantams and LF other than size? Thanks.
