This is our First Polish ! She comes from a dirty breeder in horrible conditions with possible coryza.

She is in quarantine. She is a Doll. Golden Lace? from what i have seen and read.
what weird nostrils polish chickens have !!

She is very pretty but from the sounds of her lat home needs to be checked for everything including lice. Enjoy you beautiful new baby.

I brought them both to an animal clinic that i work for so they got double checked by me and the vet. I also got one sizzle also in a seperate quarantined area who has clear nasal discharge that has a very foul odor. The Vet put the sizzle on 2 different ABs along with a sterile sinus flush and the polish on one AB as a precaution. Both Hens Are active , eating and drinking with normal stools. After the meds are finished we will deworm .the Vet is looking Into Vaccines for my 6 other chickens , in hopes that one day they can be integrated <wishful thinking>

FOUND ONE - THANKS

Sorry to post in the incorrect place, but I figured polish people would see this first. Looking for somebody with a white crested black hen somewhere near the Danville, VA area. A very devoted daddy called me last night. Thier hen died - belonged to his special needs child. He was going to drive 2 1/2 hours to get one if I had that color. I have plenty of WC blues and self-blacks, but it has to be WC black.

Thanks I have his phone number. IM me and I will get you in touch with him.

these are my polish babies. they are about 1 1/2 weeks now. i know some of you like to guess gender based on crest shape and size. any ideas on them? just curious. thanks

When I hatched some orpington eggs, I got one of these.. It was the only one with a bad hair day.
To me, the crest reminds me of a cockatoo.. Ive never had a polish so I dont know if this is how they start out or not..

Any and all comments, critiques, or opinions accepted.. Its a month old. Any ideas if its a he or she??? Im hoping a she, then I can keep it...

Today I sexed a 10 week old GLB. Roo. At 10 weeks, he has jumped my silkie twice! No doubt in my mind!

I am not real good at this, I've been fooled quite a bit. #1 looks like a boy-are those saddle feathers ? Looks like it.
#2- look for saddle feathers, or narrow pointy poof feathers. #3 look for the same thing.

I had one Polish that I thought was a boy even AFTER she laid an egg! She even mounted a few girls when she was 2 and I had no rooster at the time.
What I notice with the ones I have now, 10 weeks old, the probable girls have wide poofs and I can't see their eyes, and the probable males -their poofs look slicked up on the sides.
