Polish pictures

Looks like someone went silkie cross crazy or Polish crazy. Blue/teal ears I've seen on my silkies and Polish.
#1 looks like a fairly normal EE.
#2 looks like silkie (color of comb)/Polish offspring bred with a D'Uccle.

I think some of yours may be 2nd or 3rd generation already. I'm going to guess they were bantams? I had a few but sold them. I couldn't let them out with my big chickens. Like all 4 above, they have varying characteristics . Did they have any roos?

Yes, lots of very cute but obnoxious bantam roos. And the above 4 are bantams. There were over 50 hens/roos at this hoarder's place plus 20-30 rabbits, sheep, horse....... Of the 20 hens I have, there's a turken, plym rock bantam, 3 blue andalusians, 2 speckled sussex, numerous EEs, some even look like legit APA ameraucanas, a french marans.......There were 3 true silkies, 3 true polish....I can't remember what else. My turken has no toes......frozen to the metal poles.
One is a black "ameraucana" bantam who is a real bully. I'm giving her a month and if she doesn't calm down I'm returning her to the rescue sanctuary. She pounds the living daylights out of any of the other bantams and guards the coop door all morning, chasing them out, causing a hugely stressful atmosphere. She looks like a crow with muffs.

Thank you so much. I'm doing my best to identify these little hens and educate myself on the different breeds. These forums are an enormous source of help.

Mainechicklet, did you ever think of trying pinless peepers for the bully?

What is a pinless peeper?

mainechicklet, they are basically blinders for birds. Prongs set in the nostrils, it does not hurt them. But it does keep them from looking straight forward. I used them with my feather pickers and it worked. If you would like, I can send you one. Just private message me.

Thank you for your generosity! At the moment, there's no way I can even grab her let alone apply a set of blinders! She shrieks and flies 20' into the air if I even touch her feathers. But I will definitely keep your offer in mind! Again thank you.

You're welcome.

Here's my sweetest one, she follows me everywhere. Not that she can see where we're going.
