I have a Buff-laced bearded Polish pullet
(age 10–11 weeks).
This Polish girl (
her name is Pom-Pom, haha), absolutely
LOVES ME!
I’m not sure why she is
so attached to me, she is in with other chickens (bantams),
but every time I open up their home, she runs out and almost right away - - -
“
Hi Pom-Poooom!” “
CHEEP CHEEP CHEEP!”
“
Whatcha doin’ Pom-Pom?!” “
CHEEP CHEEP CHEEP!”
-jumps on my lap-
“
Oh hi pretty Pom-Pom!” “
CHEEP!”
-lays down on my lap, lets me pet her(!)-
In other words, she is
absolutely adorable,
super friendly, super tame,
and is definitely the most people-loving chicken I’ve ever met, out of
SEVEN breeds!
She talks back to me when I speak to her, she knows her name, and her peoples!
She’s such a pretty girl, with all her beautiful head-feathers :3.
Polish chickens get a bad rap (“dumb as rocks”), but this girl is actually extremely smart, she just can’t see all that well sometimes due to her wild hair;
I’m gonna have to give it a trim pretty soon!
The only other one that comes
pretty close to my Polish girl is Gracie,
a Self-Blue Old English Game Bantam girl who is also very tame, calm, elegant,
tiny, cute, and full of self-assurance and grace (
thus her name!).
That girl
also lets me touch her, pet her, talk to her, she even hops onto my lap
every now and then,
especially if Pom-Pom is already there
.
