What sweet photos. So very sorry for your loss. As I mentioned in another comment I lost Flower, my sweet Polish hen 2 weeks ago. Some people say oh it’s just a chicken. But it’s not. Not to people who love their chickens like pets. Sending ❤️ to you!

Sending you ❤️. My black and white Polish disappeared 2 weeks ago and she was one my favorites. Polish are the best! Heartbroken. We couldn’t figure it out but then found a piece of broken Dig Defense so something came in and got her, and you know they are easy to sneak up on with those big...

Did you find a home for your handsome boy? 2 of my 3 silkie pullets ended up cockerels. One day I ran out when I heard one crowing the first time and it was not the one I would ever have guessed. I was shocked. Soooo hard to guess. And my hen? I still wasn’t convinced she was a girl until she...

Wonderful. Thanks!!

Hi. Here is a picture of my gold laced Wyandotte pullet at the same age (first pic) - cute tiny wattles. In the next pic she was a few weeks older - wattles a bit bigger and redder. Your girl is beautiful! My Wyandotte is sweet, smart (one of the smartest I have) and beautiful. I love Polish too!

Hi. I found some more pix of Pumpkin at around 13 weeks (her face is not starting to redden yet). I have some 8 day old chicks (supposed to be female) and one has no tail feathers and I keep trying to figure out if he is a boy. So hard to wait to truly know.

I would love an update on your Swedish Flower Hen. Is it a pullet? I just got a Swedish Flower Hen - 8 days old today.

I am a newbie so my opinion is uneducated but your chicken looks a lot like my Wyandotte hen (gold-laced) at the same age when I look at feathering. I am attaching pix of my girl (Pumpkin) who was about 14.5 weeks at the time and was starting to get some reddening in her wattles and comb. She...

I do see that his look is more David Bowie from the 80’s than his pretty Polish girlfriend in the photo.

Kind of looks like Beaker the scientist from The Muppet Show

Thanks. Have been looking for saddle feathers and just wasn’t sure.

Can anyone possibly tell me if this sweet little 10 week old Polish chicken (Athena) is a hen or rooster? The one photo with the other polish chicken - she is obviously a hen, but what about Athena? She was named after the goddess of the hunt because she is very alpha and smart from the...
