Polish chicks with no puffy head.

[leighlir]

I purchased some 3 day old chicks today from a breeder at a community small animal sale. She had all the chicks marked with leg bands to tell breed but had several breeds together in the big bin. 3 of them are polish frizzle chicks but only one of them has a teeny puff on its head the rest their heads are just a regular fuzzy chick head. I’ve never had polish chicks and bought them just for fun along with the other breeds I wanted. Is this typical or are the other two perhaps not actually polish .

Can you post pictures ? I would guess that either they are not Polish or they are poor quality Polish.

There are 2 black Araucana and 3 black Polish chicks that I can’t tell apart now. Thanks for the help!!

The first one looks like a Polish/Araucana mix, none of the others are Polish. They all look to be Araucana.

I would say only #1 is Polish.

Thank you everyone! We were just thinking it’d add some pizazz to our little egg laying crew. Here’s to hoping # 1 turns out to be a hen!!

Only Chick 1 looks like a Polish to me, not sure about the others.
