It's like a miracle, isn't it? I have a flock of silkies that have NEVER hatched a male!
Illia, maybe those Polish of yours have a trait like that.

What r u feeding and outing in their water ?
I read somewhere that Apple cider vinegar will do that in some animals.

Sorry but unlike most people I want males at some point

I think it was just one of those luck strokes though. Honestly I usually do tend to have more females than males in my hatches. In fact one time I had a bunch of females and one male. It was perfect if you first think about it, then not so much on the second though due to your inability to choose among males who's best.

Illia, I know the feeling! I had 2 hatches of silkies looking for another male, LOL.

I don't use anything in the water or food. They get horse sweetfeed for scratch.

Mine just simply eat what is out on our pasture -

And what comes from the garden -

But they also do get regular hen feed, which I hope will stop by next fall. Nothing special in their water, just well water.

I'm so bummed! I am in central California and it's still hot here. I had a box fan tip over and kill one of my buff laced pullets. I'm so sad! Now I only have 2 BL pullets with 3 boys! I really only want one boy but I'm waiting to see what they look like when they mature a bit.
I took the fan out until I secure it better. UGGH!

Ok, I now know what sexes my 4, eight wk old, buff laced polish are and what a disappointment! I have 3 roosters and 1 pullet

Shoot! Guess I better order more eggs
