I have to talk POLISH!

[sbucciarel]

beautiful!!! I have a wc blue that carries one frizzle gene, and he is pretty, but his hackles have developed a brownish tint, is that from feeding corn based feed? I thought I read that will do it somewhere here. The brownish color is also in his white head feathers. Not the greatest pic, but you can see it well here.

I don't know the answer to that. Maybe someone else knows.

I'm not sure either, but i love him anyway!!!!! When I got him, there was a frizzle hatchling, but someone had already bought it

I brought the 2 home, thinking I would get a frizzle pullet at some point. I gave one away to a friend, and something got in their coop and ate him

I thought polish chickens were supposed to have a v comb....? Maybe mine are mutts, as my 2 both have combs that look like horns, like the above pic. Now I am confused, but love them anyway!!

They do have a V comb but yours don't look like a normal v comb it is diffrent. it should look more two horns your's are a lot wider so that leads me to think it is a mix also.

Maybe a Houdan bred in? He has a poof just like my 2 Houdan roos.

Hi, im still new and still learn about polish, just want ask.
this it my polish











Can some one tell me, from what breed is it?
Thanks.

here is what a polish v comb looks like. This is one of my creles that I show. Notice the small horns at the top of the comb. Hope this helps explain it better.

Seminole...my little chicks are adorable...great to have some new blood to continue my 5th generation Creles. Will try to have pics soon.

The sun really makes white feathers "brassy." True hard core breeders with white (or white crested)chickens keep them out of the sun at all times. It does make a difference.

Thanks. I have mycutekitties to thank for them. She sent me the chicks all the way from Ca to VA and this is the result.

Here's the frizzled blue roo I'm keeping from her.

he is so nice!!!!

It's probably the sun. I keep all my show birds out of the sun. This is the indoor room they live in. (Its a YouTube video)

This is a video of my new runs for my LF Tolbunts, bantam BL and LF BL flocks

I love him. He's got to be my favorite roo. His temperament is so nice too.

After talking to you about the cuckoo, I decided to keep a solid black instead. Tell me what you think of this guy. He's in a temporary pen while I'm separating out keepers and those that are going to the chicken swap tomorrow.
