I am so sorry. If you would like help troubleshootong the security issues you can start a separate thread and post photos of your setup so we can help you.

Were these hatchety, retail store, private person or auction sourced?

Can you get a better shot of the white & black bird? It may well be a silver spangled appenzellar spitzhauben (say that three times fast, lol) as the plumage is not a pattern commonly found in polish. The crest is a bit hard to distinguish in the picture posted, ssas are a partially crested breed, as opposed to the full cresting of polish.

They are from Ideal, from the feed store.

Well, they do offer spitzhauben, but what I can see of the crest is off in color and size/shape. I'm on my phone so not seeing pic really well
Nothing they have listed fits.....when you take the pics also look at how many toes and what comb type does your bird have?

Couldn't get a good pic tonight, too dark. She has four toes, light grayish legs. Her comb looks pretty much like my other polish chicks. Her crest is much fuller than a spitzhauben but her color and pattern matches.

Her as a chick

That description fits my X wife to a tee! Kidding!

I take that back, she had 5 toes, pink legs and hair like my roo. Nothing more to say about that!

I haven't had time to get pics and preparing for severe thunderstorms this weekend.
