Polish pictures

Well I'm glad your little one is recovering. I've been breeding silkies for 8+ years and have had the occasional vaulted skull and never had a problem. Mine free range with large fowl and they manage to keep out of trouble. In my experience wry neck is more often than not a thiamine B1 deficiency.

That's what I've heard is a major causer, but the grain I buy isn't lacking in that, and the chicken recovered without a food change. But that's great that your vaulted do so well

Here is a pic of my day old polish chick hatched by my silkie. He was the only one of six eggs that hatch. Any ideas on what color he will be.

Bluette was rescued in Dec from a hoarder. Any ideas what combo she might be? She's tiny with an impressive voice and lays 5-6 peewee sized cream eggs/week. Has 1-2 feathers on each leg.

Amy, looks just like my one gold laced baby.

Mainchicklet, Your chicken looks like a gold laced Polish cross with a Silkie.

Hi seminolewind,
Thank you for your input on Bluette. I rescued 20 of the hoarder hens. Four in Dec and 16 this month. I had to build another coop/run to adopt 16 more and it's hard to find someone willing to build chicken coops in 10 feet of Maine snowbank and 5 degs.
I looked at your "page" from 2010 and saw your pic of the unnamed d'uccles. Here are four more of the rescues and they look a bit like that pic. There's a combo of crests, beards, muffs, tiny single combs, pea combs, some, including Bluette, teal/blue ears..... Obviously they're a bit tattered at the moment with a couple missing toes from roosting on metal bars. The one sitting on the log is slightly larger, but they all lay consistently peewee-small cream and green eggs and are screechers. ) Any thoughts on this quad?
