Yup - the chipmunks are the Dorkings. One of whom is determined to rip his wing band off...I'm just hoping he doesn't pull on it enough to cause problems.

There are two yellowish ones - one is yellow with black splash and the other is yellow with white...those are two of the Polish. The black one doesn't show up in this video, I don't think.

Edit: I take it back, the black polish shows up - on the left side of the screen about 30s into the video. He's black with a white chest.

Awww! My white crested blacj went to the free range in the sky after that cold snap last weekend

Eta your splashy one might turn into a silver laced! Mine was a nasty whitish gray when i first got it, but is now following suit with its SLW brooder mates

It would be interesting to see lacing show up. I think he's going to be a black splash white like this guy:



or this one:



The other yellow I think will be a buff/white combo:



And the black one, I'm not sure about...he may grow out of that silver and be pure black or he may be black and silver.

My polish are the chicks in the brooder. The photos I posted are what I think they may grow up to look like.....

And, I don't particularly care for Polish. But, I have them, so they'll get just as good a care as all the rest. Who knows, they may grow on me.

Im kinda in that same boat. I love the IDEA of polish, and kinda want to cross them with my EE's...but so far they are super skiddish! How old are urs and how are they acting?

I have a little splash roo that I think would crawl into my pocket if I let him
my two hens are ok.. not super friendly or super skittish.. but of the two, the buff laced is friendlier than the red

They are ~2 weeks old. They aren't as friendly as my Dorkings - who settle right down and just sit on my lap. But, they aren't horribly flighty.
