I have to talk POLISH!

Oh, I see that was already established! LOL

seminolewind Looks like the vote is female ! Congratulations on a funky pullet ! Who needs another male chicken, Not me, so I am happy for you.

Well , Flower, she was the only egg that hatched in 10 that were supposed to be Crele-project. But I don't think was even a project bird. She looks like a regular , not very attractive GLP. The seller must drink, LOL.

I really did want to her to be a roo when she was born. I had been trying to hatch a roo for my girls since last early summer, and something always went wrong. But now I have a Tolbunt roo, who can live here, but he's kindof nutty.

But 3 weeks ago I had a real nice hatch:





I'm seeing good things here. And I have 6 more hatching tonight from someone else, so I feel like it's a good base.

Why yes, you sure did get a nice hatch! Looking forward to seeing the brand new ones too!

Yes they do look like a good healthy bunch of punkers !

I have a hatch due next week that I am eagerly awaiting. I have had poor results but this looks more promising, at least the shipped eggs look good.

Luckies We haven't had any hatches for months. Our hen is sitting right now but it doesn't look promising she is spending a little to much time off the nest for the temperature. We'll wait and see I guess. Hopefully we can find someone with new lines of Polish so if any of you have SQ Polish we'd be interested just drop me a line

I'm very surprised at the health of these punkers! It's a great thing considering the inbreeding involved up till now. These are sturdy little things. At 2.5 weeks, they were already coming off their heat lamp. I think the nights were 70's at the time, now it's warmer, and they'll be needing a fan!

Can you tell the sex of a Polish at 4 weeks? I can pretty much tell with all my other chicks that are the same age, but I don't have a clue with the Polish and have never had them before.

 

[seminolewind]

Polish are hard to sex. I think my last year's batch, I couldn't tell til 10 weeks or more. Sometimes you get a few that are easy , and then there's those who keep you fooled right up till they crow or lay an egg.
Post the pictures here, with all of us guessing, there's a 50/50 chance we'll be right.

 

[QualityPolish]

Yes a 50/50

Anyway, they are hard to sex thats why I really hate hatching eggs. The adorable puffs are cute but I hate getting to many roosters and I have a hard time getting rid of them. Even at swaps it's amazing how no one wants them
