Polish Thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi @ejsouthy

I'm afraid you have a boy there and not a girl. At 5-6 months he may just not have found his voice yet. I've had some nearly 7 months before they started to crow.
I hope they are able to take him back or you can find a home for him.

Good luck and enjoy BYC

This is my Buff Lace Polish named Einstein.

Einstein is very pretty
I had a couple of these ladies but over here in the UK they are a called chamois not buff lace. They were OK birds but to say they were hens that sure had a good nip about them and it hurt!! I hatched and raised them exactly the same as all my others but only the chamois nipped.

Is Einstein friendly?

Is Einstein friendly?

Einstein went after my legs once when he was about 4 months old. After that I wouldn't let him near me. Spraying water on him whenever he got close made him keep his distance. He's been good for the past 4 months. He's not exactly friendly but he is respectful of my space. He also avoids any other people who come into the yard.

I do worry about him this winter. It gets down to -25 C at night for part of the winter. I read that Polish are not cold weather birds. I got him as a free mystery chick when I ordered my flock in February. Grandson fell in love with him as only a 10 year old boy can love a skinny cockerel with blue legs and a bad hair day every day. Einstein needs to learn to cuddle with the girls when it gets cold in January.

Not too far then. What other birds do you keep?
