I recently hatched out a batch of chicks. Two of them came from polish eggs and are from a polish rooster. The hen that layed both eggs is a white crested blue polish and the rooster that bred them is a candy corn polish. Anyone know what the chicks might look like as adults? I included pictures of both chicks and the parents.

Very cute - but your boy there is not infact a candy corn polish. He appears to be some sort of buff/splash. A CC Polish is much darker, and results from a cross of a tolblunt and crele. Both look very similar, but aren't.

It looks like your darker chick will be a standard white/blue and your second may not have a Polish mother. Polish x Polish should have a much more prominent poof, even at a day old.

Would this be a CC Polish or not. I got this hen and the rooster from an exotic auction.

CC Polish are actually not a recognized standard, so there is no limitations to who can call their chicken a CC.

By definition, no, this is not a Candy Corn Polish - or even a Polish. It has puffy cheeks, and no where near the poof needed to be considered. This looks like a cuckoo x easter egger with incomplete coloring (the tiny little black spots) that too usually see in uncontrolled breeding (barnyard mixes). The feathering on top of the head likely comes from a legbar mixed in somewhere along the way. We call these "color packs".
