Hi Emily, congrats on the new home and upcoming addition to your family! I'd caution you about putting Polish in with other breeds...those feathery heads can be a target to other breeds (that was my experience anyway).

Best wishes!

Howdy Emily Welcome to Backyard Chickens. Enjoy your time here!

Welcome Emily. Leghorns are not the friendliest breed. ( Good layers though) Spend time with your chicks and let them get used to you being the hero/ treat giver. That helps make them friendly. I got mine at 6 weeks and gave them small amounts of scrambled eggs to get them used to me.That really helps when it comes time to inspect for disease/ parasites or possible injuries They still like to eat out of my hands at 1 1/2 years old. Talk to them and remember they only peck they have no teeth. Good luck
