Does anyone have pictures of Polish chickens with crossed colors?

[Poultry Master]

I have a buff laced polish rooster with a golden laced hen and a white hen.

From them I got a buff chick

a golden laced chick

a white chick with a few black spots

and three black chicks.

Humm, the colors don't seem to mix unless they make black.

Some are black, but some people are actually getting colors like the parents or very similar. That's what I wondered. Actually, I wouldn't mind having a couple that are black.

I want some of every color Polish, lol.

I'm getting there but for some reason the buff laced seem to hatch better for me than anything else.
I could show you pictures of my Polish that I mixed with a red hen but they are only about a month old. They have black crests but very colorful bodies.
So far I have: buff laced, blue, splash and I just hatched two silver laced.

 

[mom2chicksandpups]

I understand. I want them all too!

I just hatched out some Polish babies and I love them! I have never hatched out polish before. I got 2 buff laced, 1 silver laced, 1 white crested blue, 1 egg marked as a white crested blue but a yellow chick came out so not sure on that one

(also hatched out a mottled houdan and a black cochin!)

I just took photos of them- they are 1-2 days old now and put them on my chicks page-

spotsplus, The yellow chicks at the bottom of the page you linked to all look like buff laced Polish to me. You mentioned a yellow one hatching out of an egg marked as blue. Could it have been a buff? I have 2 that are a couple of months old and they were yellow as chicks.

Are the blue and splash colors related as they are with other breeds that can turn out offspring as blue/black/splash? If so, the yellow one could be a splash? In this picture, some of the splash are yellow and some have some blue on them. http://www.cacklehatchery.com/polishpage.html#splash

I ordered some a few months ago in a "top hat special." Three of my chicks were black with some white and light yellow on their heads. I assumed from photos that all 3 were white crested black. They all looked nearly identical as chicks. When they got feathers, though, one is black, one is light blue, and one is mostly blue with some black mottled in with the blue (but the last one is and always has been smaller than the other 2). They are around 2 months old now.

In this photo are my blue and black with white crests back when I first got them. They look the same here, but one is black as she can be now and the other is a sky blue color. I need to take new pictures of them as they look now.

mom2chicksandpups, yes, I am guessing that it's a buff although the legs are more greyish than the other two which are orange. In a couple weeks when those feathers start to pop I'll have a better idea

I'm guessing the egg was just marked incorrectly

 

[mom2chicksandpups]

Probably so. I imagine it's hard to keep them separate when the eggs all look alike.

I say my blue and black looked just alike as chicks, but after I posted that picture I looked at it again and one of them has a lot more black on it than the other. Maybe the one with more black is my white crested black and the one with more white is the white crested blue. I never really noticed when they were younger. My blue is a roo for sure. He's getting some major wattles already and the black one has absolutely no red on her face. I am trying to decide to keep him or opt for a different color roo. He is a beauty. The one with the black and blue splotches isn't too pretty and I am beginning to think he may be a bantam.

Poultry Master,

All of your chicks are beauties, but I have to say the gold laced one is the prettiest. They are so pretty as adults, also. I finally broke down and ordered myself some golden laced and silver laced chicks. They should be here in about a week to a week and 1/2. I can't wait!!!

I also really love the black ones. I hope at least one of my offspring is black when mine get old enough to lay. I would have to keep a black chick or 2 or 3......
