It will depend partly if the white is full dominant or not. Sorry I'm not familiar with the polish specific genetics as to that portion.

See, you white polish rooster COULD be from a previous white to black (or other cross) giving only 1 copy of dominant white and one copy of the sub color. Then if you breed it to say the sub color, some chicks will get two copies of that sub color while others will receive on sub and one white and will be white. Sorry I know that sounds like a lot of circle talking and genetics is wide and complicated subject so my understanding is mostly basic... enough to get me by and still have a LOT of fun!

Mostly... white will cover and hide all other colors and you get white birds. BUT.. one copy of DOMINANT white over black (I believe) will give you paint. (again not sure about Polish cuz not all breeds genetics are exactly the same how they function).

If the white is not dominant all chicks will be black according to this calculator... http://kippenjungle.nl/Overzicht.htm#kipcalculator Notice the second drop down choice is in English.

And the beginning page in case you are more motivated or have better understanding than I and many...

Dominant white over black will give you white split to black. I don't know what color of crests they have. Recessive white..... let's just put it this way. It could bring up any number of things. It won't show white in the first generation... The next generation will have 25 percent white.
Though we could still have hidden colors, dominant white is generally more predictable. Recessive white randomly pops up anywhere. You have to breed dominant white on a color, and black crested white is most common in Polish. Which could be where recessive white came from of course.
Sorry I don't have pics or know much about Polish in general, but at least I know a bit about genetics.
