I have to talk POLISH!

Oh, Sarah ... you'll love the blue frizzled roo. His crest looks a lot like the crest of the pic you use in the avatar. How do I clean it? Looks like it may get in his water bowl and then attract dirt when he's pecking around. lol.

I got a very pretty girl yesterday. I have a lot of babies, won't be sure of the sex for a while,, but I know this one is a girl..and a sweet one at that!


Fun to watch. She is pretty close to laying. I hear the eggs
are usually a cream, or white color? My first grown up Polish.

Gosh your picture has not picked up the buff. But they're cute, my favorites, docile and sweet

Oh that's a never ending battle of keeping the crest clean. Some of the frizzle boys I have to use a pony tale (I use in my kids hair ties) to keep the crest out of his face. Or when they get real dirity I wash it. If it says dirity too long it stains it. It never ends!

I see. Most of the ones I got from you still have nice fluffy white crests, but this character is going to need a scrubbing then. :/

Who is good at sorting young (8-17 week old) roos? I have my favorites....... but, want to pick some for the right reasons!!!

I know just keep growing them out, but a couple less would be great!!

Any thoughts let me know

It's been months since I hatched chicks. It the 1st time I'm using the EcoGlow 50 (I had the smaller one). I LOVE this heat source. It's so nice to not worry about the heat lamp catching on fire. They love going under it. Such a great investment!

Frizzle boys are the worst offenders.

I've looked at those, so it sounds like you are pretty happy with it, and it looks as though, so are the babies! They are cuties.

I am new to the polish breed and did order a book of standards (not here yet) but I have been curious since getting my polish: Do the roosters need a V Comb to be "show quality"? Can anyone tell me what a good quality polish looks like?
