I love those names! I call their 'hair' afros since before I entered the chicken world, I went to the state fair and always saw Polish since they're a popular breed for showing. I've loved them since I was a kid, and I'm so excited for them in Spring! We got our chickens (2 barred rocks, 2 buff orps, 2 EEs) from the local feed mill since we wanted to start being chicken people in early August, so polish weren't available anymore.
So I can see the girl has more fluff, right? And I'm curious to why it wouldn't work with golden laced. I want at least 1 buff laced so would it work with them? And if not, why?
Ok good, so I can tell the difference! Thanks so much, everybody! I've been waiting since August for polish chicks and still won't be able to get them until early April since it won't be warm enough and plus my mill won't have them until then.
Well, Virginia is warmer at this time of year. Here in WI, we'll have 1 day that's just constant snowfall, and the next will be everything melting in 40F weather, until it SNOWS the next day. It's pretty annoying and definitely not the right conditions for chicks. Most breeders here don't get ANY chicks until like April or late March.
