[CHICKEN BUFF]

Need a little help from some fellow Polish fans. Approximately how much should a five-week old Polish chick weigh?

I have a lone Tolbunt Polish chick, "Shorty", that was the only survivor out of a clutch (eggs I bought online). I got him a buddy, the only one I could come up with in a hurry, something allegedly Silkie x Orpington. The buddy is now MUCH bigger than "Shorty", but until now I've been chalking it up to a difference in genes. Now I'm worried! Shorty appears to be a Frizzle ---- does that make any difference?

Looking at photos of this spring's batch of Polish chicks at four weeks, they're huge compared to this little guy (or gal).

"Shorty" is eating and drinking well, very active, and not being bullied in any way by "Biggie". In fact, the big chick seems to be affectionate towards "Shorty". They cuddle together, and Shorty sleeps on top of Biggie often. Photos of the pair are below.

Thoughts?

Hey! Owner of two completely whacked out crested polish here! I'll get pictures when I can lol, they're about 2 months old (Same as all my young ones) I think I have them sexed properly but I can't be entirely positive, so I'll probably need some help with that.

I am selling my entire breeding flock of Crele Polish. I am located in California, and the birds will need to be picked up. If interested send me a PM and I will forward the link to the ad or answer any questions you might have.

Xposted:
I have 4 chicks and one is a white crested black polish. The others are a silkie and 2 BO. I haven't noticed any pronlems todate. They are about 3-4 weeks old now and starting to feather out. I noticed that my polish started looking a little bald on top so I set up a camera to see if she is being pecked. Nothing in 48 hours of video. I'm attaching a pic of her the day I got them and then one from today. I have no idea what could be causing this. Help!

I'm obsessed with anything Polish chicken related now! I bought my first polish rooster and hen yesterday!!! And one Willie chciken! Plan is to breed sizzled polish mixes! Still waiting to find the right frizzled polish to add in.

I would also like to cross my Polish with a frizzle! I never see any Frizzles or Sizzles around here but I got 5 little Polish chicks about 4 weeks ago. I think there are 2 females and 2 males..not sure on the other one yet lol.
