I thought I had already started a thread about this but I can't find it! I've been told by some that my 18 week old Polish chicken is a pullet but I'm just not so sure anymore…any thoughts?

Are you sure? I got him/her from a hatchery, sold as a Silver laced polish. Could they have been wrong??

Oh, bummer!! I had hope for a minute!
He's so sweet and lets me pick him up and never crows! Definitely at the bottom of the pecking order... maybe that's why? My Sebright rooster is the devil himself, lol.

I'd take him in a heart beat if you were closer He's a gorgeous lil' thing~ The silvers and buffs are my favorite breeds of polish~ I'd love to get more one day..

Any chance he'll never crow?
Does that even happen?
It's ok... you can just drive here! How long could driving cross country actually take?!

I'm trying! Luckily, he's tiny and can't do too much damage, right?
Tell you what- I'll pay YOU to take him!
