Boys don't have a mowhawk, they have an "80's hair band" do. Very rocker-ish. No Polish should have a mowhawk shaped crest. Female's crests should look more like a tennis ball shape. Very round and puffy. The boys will be long and stringy.


Also, keep in mind that hatchery stock are very hard to sex. They don't play along the same rules as breeder and show quality ones do, because of how they are bred.

Melinda, how old are they and is it just the pic, or are they getting red in the comb area already?

Just have to say it. . . . My girls are finally laying now, so I've got some Tolbunt project eggs collecting up and waiting to go into the incubator!! Finally!!

My girls have not laid a single egg since my Tolbunt boys were old enough to first start mating. As soon as they did, the girls stopped. . . And I haven't had any white eggs until now for at least 4 months.

What did you outcross to?

 

[Illia]

Silver Laced. Don't have gold laced, so I'm settling with sex-linked offspring. Unusable males and usable females.
