Tolbunt Polish

[SkinnyDragon23]

This is my around 10 weeks or so tolbunt pullet... she barely has any white, only a little bit on her crest. She's very beautiful and has a very nice, full crest, but will she get more white and tolbunt coloring as she gets older?

She looks more like an off color Gold Laced than Tolbunt. White mottling should be present by now. Have you seen the parents?

Yes, though the breeder also breeds gold laced with tolbunt and then breeds that back to tolbunt in order to lessen inbreeding, so maybe I got one of the gold laced/tolbunt mixes :/

That's what she looks like to me.

Hi, everyone! I've been reading through this thread because I got my first and only Polish which happens to be a Tolbunt. According to what I've read here, I'm pretty sure she is a pullet. I believe she's between approx 8-10 wks old. I've named her Queen Bee because right away she put herself at the top of the pecking order in my grow-out pen with 8 chicks in it that are all around the same age but different breeds. Does everyone agree that she's a pullet? Also she has white legs right now and from what I've been reading they should be slate gray, right? Does this leg color come later?

Earlier I posted the above and wondered about the leg color of my one and only polish pullet. She has white legs and is pushing 3 mos old. Will the legs change to gray later or do you think she'll have white legs?
