What kind of Polish Crested is this?

[bart40330]

He has had some tail feather damage.

He looks like a crossed breed silver lace to me.

I'm thinking he's all Silver Laced Polish but has some sun damage, judging by the yellowing on him. Or he's just a dirty bird.

Edited to add: are his legs blue or pink? It's hard to tell from the pics.

 

[bart40330]

His legs are blue and it looks like they have warts.

Okay-blue does mean Polish then. As for the 'warts', that answers my next question. I thought I saw risen scales...Sounds like he has scaly leg (leg mites). Read here.

("How Do You Know What To Look For?" Paragraph 2)

It's not too hard to treat. Really anything gloppy as said in the link can be applied, to sufficate the mites.

You think some Preparation H would would?

 

[ThePolishPrincess]

I've never tried it before, truthfully. I wouldn't try if there are doubts as it could hurt the bird. I've heard veggie oil or vaseline can be used as well.

Also, you might want to clean out the coop where he's staying or the mites could come back. Perhaps check for body mites, also? Mites are horrible. They'll travel from bird to bird.

Thank you. This evening I rubbed Vaseline on my cock and it really seemed to like it. It had to feel good judging by how rough and scaly its feet were.

Well I thought it was funny anyway.
