silver Polish Pullet or roo?

[becky3086]

The second picture is definitely a cross and I have my doubts to it being a Polish to Polish cross. I have a red hen x splash polish that has a comb just like that.

Eeeeek...Freaky comb I know...Is yours a boy too...have a pic.
Guess I'll have to contact her....but you know...not much tado now....just won't trust again...

So those are my mutts huh? 1st for me....a girl (jury's still open) and the second is a fanatic of a crower...but loves my 5 year old daughter. Well what can ya do

Actually, I have so many now, I haven't really looked to see if it is a boy or girl. I plan on having a larged mixed Polish pen and just want to see what colors I will get. Right now, most are the dark head with black and white body though a few have some red and one is completely blue. I don't have any pictures yet of them. I also have one that has like a double comb, one smaller one beside the other one.

Hmmm how many toes does it has?
How is the comb? sorry i think i missed something. LOL

And it is 6 months old? If so and it has not even tried to crow then i take back my answer, because it should have tried to crowed by now.

My polish in question is the 1st 2 pics...(everybody is on the wall about this one)then I posted my rooster...same hatch----- they are 12 weeks old or 3 months.
The suspected pullet shows hardly any comb or redness,Has slate legs...the boy...who crows alot....has a v comb....and I'll have to go check out his legs....if he'd stop running around....he's pretty amusing but is friendly sometimes and comes right over to my lap to check things out.

Now mixed somwthing...anyone

Well I was told they were silver polish eggs?! Frustrating to get crosses...hmmmmph
Guess it could be a spitz...kinda looks like it. I have another from the same hatch...def a rooster...he crows ALOT! my daughter loves him...not too much of a looker....Figured he was a cross....well take a look for yourself...not much in the head gear department....sure they'll be purty anyhow. Did I open a can of worms....I saw the parents on site...they were definately silver polish and I saw some white crested black...she told me they were seperated for a month before collection...hmmmph again!

Oh this guy has more feathers on his crest now.....this was over a weeks ago.

Ok, this one is not pure polish.

What type of comb does the first pic have?​

I'll get a comb pic of polish no. one tomorrow.....Raining lots since dinner tonight. My egg seller says for sure polish just young......slow to mature (somebody else posted that too)...she saw the pictures and thinks they look good. (but offers to buy back if I'm not happy with them....)
Well,Gonna hold on to them and put the puzzle together for now....one more picture to show you all....combs and feet.....My daughter says one has some feathers on its legs....going out in the morning to give m treats for being such funny looking lil birds!

Also is green on their tails a norm...kinda metallic sheen on the black.
The more I look at em...the more they look cute.

If one has feathers on the feet, it is not pure polish, and pure polish do not have combs like that one in the second pic.

They are clean leged, and there combs are a V shaped comb, they look like devil ears.

But they are really cute looking.​

I think that 1st one is definitely not a Polish. It looks just like a Spitz pullet to me, as well. Pretty bird, regardless! The second guy is also definitely not a Polish (even more definitely than the first one!) but is a cutie! Either the seller made a big mistake or you're being duped! Either way, they're cute and I'd keep them if I were you!
