Tolbunt Polish

[welasharon]

I understand. I only have the two pure ones, a pair of GLxtolbunt crosses and three GL hens. I worry too and the roo is easily bigger than any other chicken I have. Well, except the shamo and they are in the back yard.

Here's my two...you can see the differences. Also Dahlia is more compact and her feathers look like petals on a flower. His are more fly-away, especially around the neck.

oooh yes!!! I have 2 compact ones for sure and 2 fly aways! haha I do have Tolbunt GL crosses too..12 in all? So I have alot to work with to start I mean my Dh does haha... He asks and I "suggest" what his next step should be... They are too young to even think about which ones to mate to whom so we'll just deal with all the good Stuff come early Spring. If they lay eggs over the Winter they will be eaten as I promised Dh NO INCUBATING this Winter-I owe him that much as I have done it for 4 years straight all Winter! Who knows he MIGHT break out the brinsea all on his own???

Well I have absolutely no clue what to do so you can throw all the suggestions you want my way as well.

Greenfire Farms has Tolbunt Polish day old chicks available for sale on their website, $79 each.

I believe the minimum number of chicks Greenfire will ship is 6, too bad I don't have $474 (plus $60 for shipping) laying around right now...

Anybody know what you get if you breed the GL x Tolbunt crosses together?

Yes, someone posted on some thread their pics of their crosses. I will try to find it. They were quite neat looking.
