I have to talk POLISH!

Triptrap, they do not lay like an Orpington or Barred Rock. But they do lay well. I have two 4 year old Polish right now who are laying almost every day. I do think they take longer breaks between cycles.

Great thanks. Also found this link which helped. https://www.backyardchickens.com/products/polish
Getting photos of them tomorrow. Think I might go for it. I hope they fit in well with our current flock.

Have been looking for a breed that have typically calm roosters. Have you found your polish roos to be calm/nice? We've had bad luck. Our kids are always in with the flock and apparently amerucana roosters do not like little people. A polish roo would be great... if he would just leave the children alone.

Awe, they're both as cute as can be! Did she name them yet? This one looks like a Creme Puff!

Thank you! They are hers, since she wanted to get started in showing...Shes been wanting more polish since she lost one of her pet quality birds to a dog, so I had the chance to get a SQ/BQ trio and couldn't pass them up, have been planning their surprise arrival for a month and a half...


This one's name is Sugar. the smaller girl she hasn't decided on a name yet. I will suggest CremePuff!

Here's a pic of my new polish and a few of their friends. They are a bit darker than the picture shows. Very grey babies.

Mine lay superbly. My 3 year old girls lay nearly every day, my pullets lay every day. Which is pretty good to say, considering some of my other production/hatchery type hens (Brahma, New Hampshire, etc) will either lay about 3 times a week at 3 years old or go under egg complications. Also, them not being broody is nice, however their molting is the longest lasting of any breed I've had.

Have a dozen (plus) eggs (bantam) from WC choc cuckoo roo over 2 WC choc. cuckoo girls (frizzle) and 2 WC black girls (1 smooth and 1 frizzle) if anyone is interested...i have to slow way down on hatching...my girls have been laying great...i am sitting on an easy 100 under 4 months (silkies and polish)...not liking the new auctions so i figured I'd ask here before i feed them to the flock

I am very interested in the Polish eggs. How much are they?

The 2 Polish roos that I've had so far had grown up to be excellent roos. And I could pick either one up for a smooch and they didn't mind. I am currently waiting to grow another Polish roo. I have a JG roo and a BO roo right now, and they will eat out of my grandkid's hands. But I am partial to the Polish.
