Is this a Polish Chick?

Hello! I am a brand new chicken mama!!! I purchased 8 chicks from Rural King about 10 days ago. I've always wanted a polish chicken with a beautiful head of feathers... the associate at the store assured me this white one was a polish chick, but I don't see any signs of head feathers. Is it normal for these to come in much later? I love little Polly just the same, but am thinking she may not be polish.

Hard to be sure. When I got my Polish Chicks they had a pronounced bulge of feather fluff on top of head as very young chicks.
Rural King sells hatchery stock, so maybe it still will turn out to be somewhat a Polish Mix:idunno. Sometimes breeds do get mixed in store, and this just might be the case. I'm sure you will enjoy this chick regardless.
I have currently 2 Polish hens. Both large fowl size. One is all white like you hoped for. Long ago I had a Polish bantam. I prefer banties in this breed BTW.
WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and :welcome

No, doesn’t look like a Polish, but sure is cute!
 
I feel SO silly. In the midst of Coronavirus chaos, I simply mixed my two light colored chicks up! I kept thinking the smaller one was my Starlight Egger, but now that I understand what to look for... I see she's my Polish!
