At this point in the game, it's too hard to try to start from scratch, fine a breed with them, get you some starter stock and just keep working with them, we need all the help we can get on them. They produce some excellent birds, even getting some awsome black crested golds from time to time on them. What you have to do is continually slect the best birds you get and cross them back to help weed out the impurities, though all will carry the bc white genes, it's best to only use the real ones. They never hatch out white with a black crest either by the way, a true on looks more like a splash chick and will only start to show black when it gets fully feathered. A wise ol polish breeder told me to try a good silver cock over the hens to try to improve the pattern,,says it works, but I havent tried it yet. I have some excellent ones here now, and hope with a few more years of select breeding, I can have them pured up. They arent weak a fraile like I have seen others say, they are just like any other polish, they just need som TLC to get the pattern right. Oh also, real one will have black legs and skin too, perhaps a throw back to the silkies in the original breeding. If they arent dark legged, they aint bc white polish. Even with all this, they are still one of my highest
ebay selling sets, so once they get perfected to bredd true, I will be very happy, just a georgious bird, and needs all our help to perfect , if a lot of us would start working with them, it wouldnt take long. The large fowl counterpart has been around for about 10 more years and is way better established to correct breeding though still not perfected. My goal for now is to just keep selecting the best type and color each year and continuing the process. The hens are all awsome, the roos seem to be in the bigget need of help from what I have seen, You can really see the silver lace back ground in them still, and they are more black all the way down the neck still.
Hopefully we'll get them right before long
