My Polish hen, Tax Evasion, came to me when someone dumped her and her friend in my backyard, I assume because we were the closest people with chickens. They weren't in good shape and had scaly leg and I still put vaseline on because they both seem to have dry skin issues. Anyway, I have no idea...
Hi, I show through my high schools FFA chapter. I have been showing for 2 years and have owned 12 birds over those 2 years. I have a silver laced polish cock that would like some company. I want one or two friendly (not timid) pullets preferably silver laced, but I understand if that is too...
My 1 year old silver laced polish rooster got wry neck in early december, not long after his brother died on Pneumonia. He tuckes his head under his body and only on his right side. He is eating and drinking on his own, and will ge up to walk from one end of his temperary housing to the other to...
G'day everyone from (not so) sunny Queensland, Australia. Big thank you for letting me join your online community. My wife and I have a 1 acre block and currently have 3 laying hens (ex-cage Hyline commercial layers) and recently acquired 6 pullets. 2 Welsummer, 2 Polish, Blue laced Barnevelder...
hello, i have a 7 month old polish rooster who’s been having green poop. he’s acting normal otherwise and even tho the poop is green it’s a normal consistency, just green. he doesn’t eat very many greens as i can’t free range him(too many hawks in the area, and he can barely see with his hair)...
We got baby chicks over the summer and this was one we got from the tub labeled Blue tint Wyandotte but the head feathers make me wonder if it’s a polish or polish mix? I’m still new to chickens so don’t have a good handle on all the breed characteristics yet! Thanks!
Hello,
I have 3 (just starting to crow) Polish roosters in need of home in NY. I took them in as rescues when the owner passed away leaving a bunch of chickens. When I picked them up they had smooth poofs suggesting hens so perfect to add to my few hens. Over the weeks of their poofs have...
Hello again everyone. This has been a rough week. Thank you for everyone’s advice about helping my sick chicken & questions on deworming my flock. This community has been a god send. As I was deworming everyone I discovered another one of my Polish chickens has a big golf ball-sized lump on the...
Hi all. I have five - 6 month old hens. One is a golden laced polish. As expected, she is the most skittish. I’m worried that she is not getting enough to eat. She is hesitant and just stops trying if another chicken is around her. She is not being bullied. Her crop is almost always nearly...
We have 3 polish hens (12 weeks) and we bought 6 Easter Eggers (now 4 weeks). Does anyone see any problems in introducing them together when the Easter Eggers when they are ready to go outside?
I have a what’s supposed to be 4 month old Maran that’s huge. I got her and 2 polish chickens that are supposed to be 2-3 months old. The Maran is too big to be with the polish hens. She may even be bigger than my 3 year olds. Has anyone had a less stressful way of introducing new hens to your...
Howdy, my little Ric Flair (Splash Polish Roo) recently mated 2 of my Houdan girls and my Faverolle female.
What would their offspring look like?

I have a hen I treated for bumble foot a few weeks ago. Today I was giving her feet a look over when she peed on me.. except I thought chickens didn't pee?
I was holding her with her back to my chest with one hand so I could un curl and inspect her left foot with my other. She was fighting me a...
These chicks hatched June 9th.
I know it's way too early to tell what the genders are, so I'm not thinking about that yet. I am curious about coloring/breed though. The pen these two came from have a splash silkie hen, black silkie hen, buff laced hen, mottled cochin. We also have silkie roos...

So I have now a polish roosters going to breed them to my second generation
Debating on...
