POLISH THREAD Talk about your Polish and post pics of your Polish

[klf73]

nope, sorry....polish are hard enough for me

... I can usually be positive by 12 weeks tho....

oh my I found someone who may be able to ID my chick...is this or not a Polish? 5 toes, feathered shanks?
Also, can anyone tell if male or female, about 12 weeks old now.

** just read another posters note about hers, maybe a sultan on mine also then..since the legs are feathered?

I got this one and several others from a local woman, the others were a silkie, and several EE crosses, I am sure that 2 of the EE's are crossed with a Polish also? Thoughts?

 

[NoseyChickens]

They may be polish crosses, but not pure polish. The top one looks to be a girl, the other two look like boys to me.

Would 5 toes and feathered feat be a Houdan?

Since the woman that hatched the birds has EEs and Silkies, I would guess that the mix would be made from them. Although silkies have six toes crosses sometimes have five. For example I acquired a pair of Silkie/Maran crosses that have silkie crest and feathers but five toes. They are nice birds BTW.

Jodyjo, whatever they are, they're adorable! I have three polish that are 8 weeks and from the same parents. The most independent one was wattles so I thought he must be a roo but now after looking at ya'lls pictures, I'm wondering, do the roos develop later? I've read that they're hard to sex. It seems like their topknots change daily.
