I am also wondering about the sex of these little guys- they're only 1 month old so I know it's hard to tell already, but the black and blue ones have nice, round top hats already and the yellow one looks so raggety. I'm wondering if that likely means it's a male? Or just a slow developer haha. He/she isn't being pecked or anything that would make his/her head like that.
this is quite normal.
this is quite normal.
This breed is fairly flighty, due to their crests. The crests block their vision and they have limited ability to see what they can only assume would be a predator.
I got lucky with my polish, only 2 of the 4 of my birds ended up being flighty (and the other two are on some narcotic the rest of the time, they are the most chill birds on the face of the planet its WIERD. Im breeding the two chill ones to see if I can get the persona/genetic out of their babies.)
I say just do what you're doing, and maybe help their vision my putting a hair band twice around the base of their crest feather (NOT THEIR SKULLS, JUST THE FEATHERS) to help them see better.
I have found that my buff laced polish are much calmer than gold/silbver laced polish.
his name is benny, and he and this girly are the calm ones. ca be picked up without a sound from ny agle, not struggle just a small "bok?" and then cotent purring.
I love my birds but something is seriosuly wrong with a chicken that doesn't think to run when it is snatched up -_-
You dont even KNOW.
