The Perfect Polish! Polish chicken lovers ONLY

[AngBantamLuv]

My polish are the funniest. They are about 4 months. I don't have a good picture of my girl doing it, but every evening when I go out - she follows me around, pecks at my leg, and jumps on my back while I'm doing chores. Then she expects me to hand feed her. So, last night, she perched on my arm while eating out of my hand. My ring camera didn't pick any of that up.
However, when I let my naughty drakes out, my cockerel pecked me on the head. I could see on the video that as soon as he did it, he jumped up like "whoa, I'm in trouble now."

That cockerel looks crazy

Minnie and Daisy (my d'uccles) do the same... flying on me.. Minnie is my chicken backpack it's like she loves going for a ride!

Esmeralda, my baby GIANT polish, hasn't figured out that she can use those humongous flight feathers yet!! But she rubs her crest on my legs.. so cute!

The still shot looks crazier than what he did on video. But, it was quite amusing.

Will you update when they are older?

Absolutely I will

Very interesting!! Well this would be good to know for future chick picking.. but isn't candy corn from the same genetic coloring mix of tolbunt, just the crele vs mottled? There are roosters with that coloring..

According to the Polish Breeders Club, the Toblunt is not involved. The barring gene is in play here, hence the auto sexing. The barring comes from the white crested cuckoo.

Any hope that Darwin's still a girl?

I would think so, but I'm no expert on polish.

Mine is just a bit younger but doesn't have that big pink comb. Do you have any full body pics of him? @JustBabyMargo

Yesterday my cockerel jumped on my back. He didn't do anything, but would that concern you? Or are polish just silly birds?

I love all chicken breeds, but I absolutely love polish chickens!
Not only do they look beautiful and hilarious, they are well known for being friendly and have great personalities.
I don't own them (yet) but my silkie, Pippin is sitting on 6 polish bantam eggs. Hopefully they hatch so Pippin can fulfil her dreams of being a mamma hen, and fulfil my dreams of having some polish! click here to see the colours I might get and some info about the eggs. I'm hoping to get a laced buff and a range of colours
