Mystery Chicken

[LN2008]

My husband and I are about to purchase our first chickens and he keeps talking about getting a certain chicken but he has no idea what kind it was. (sorry for the run on sentence) He described it as "having a white pom-pom on its head". Any idea what the hay-ho he was talking about?? I will consider all creative suggestions.

Polish most likely. The most common are the white crested black polish.

White Pom-Pom could also be a Show Girl.

I bet it' a Polish. I love looking at them! I also have a Sultan, which are quite beautiful.

It could also be a silkie or a showgirl

Any of the Polish breeds, Sultans and Show girl Silkies. They all have poofy hair- do's. I have Buff laced Polish and White Crested Black Polish. Love them!!
