I Like Turkeys
Crowing
Going to do an update. I still have 11 polish, but Monday I had two sustain wing injuries, somehow. On one, it was the underside of the wing, so I let it stay with the flock, but the other had a visible wound that the other chicks were pecking at, so I removed it. The wound has dried out now, but the chick also has a limp on one foot, and can’t keep up with the other polish so it is still being kept separate. I’m not sure what’s wrong with it’s leg.
For the other 10, I moved them into a cage inside the shed of their “final coop“ tonight. I’ve had my bantam cochin/Bc mix flock in there for a week or so, to test it out, and it seems fine. The bantams are still in there, but I’m moving them out in the morning and letting the polish get access to the whole coop.
Here are more photos. I have 4 who are decent looking, having bigger crests than the others and okay coloring. I tried to get solo photos of them, but these birds are slightly uncooperative.
I think this blue crested white above is a pullet. I like her, she‘s adorable and is a shoulder chicken.
I think this black-crested white above is a cockerel, but I could always be wrong.
This one I also believe to be a male.
