I currently breed D'uccles but have taken a friends splash polish in because she wants some chicks and I have a polish roo. My question is what chicks would we get from a white capped black polish rooster and a splash polish hen? Can anyone explain the genetics and possible chicks we could get...
First time posting so hopefully in the right place!
Hi everyone, I just have a few questions about my rooster for people who have some rooster experience.
Currently, I have 1 silkie rooster(10 months) and 2 hens, one barred rock hen(5 1/2) and a 3/4 bantam polish 1/4 cream legbar hen(9 months)...
I have three polish bantams, they’ve all gotten a burn on their heads from the heat plate overnight despite it being raised according to their growth, I’ve put it up again since the burns showed up 3 days ago. I cleaned them daily with saline & I am spraying their heads with anti-peck spray...
I have 3 white crested black polish bantams, two are frizzles, one is not. Anyway that’s not the point, they hatched 8 days ago and they have the craziest personalities. Every time I open the brooder they fly out to sit on my lap, they’re constantly jumping on and off the top of the brooder...
Hi All. I’d love second opinions re sexing! I keep going 50/50 on what they are! I’m leaning towards rooster for the black one, (massive compared to my other one, starting to have red in the face) but the hair doo is making me think it’s a girl as it’s so circular! 🫠🤪
These are both the same...
Hello!
I am a member of 4-H and have been showing chickens at the fair for 10 years (this is one of my last years). I have had polish chickens before and they are definitely one of my favorite breeds. I would love to get some polish chicks soon so I can show them at the fair this summer, however...
Can anyone determine the parentage and/or sex of this chick that came from a mixed Polish coop?
Roo: Silver Laced
Hens: Golden laced, Silver laced, White, White crested black, and Buff laced
(Pictures of chick and Roo included.)
born 12/19/2024
I didn’t hatch them. Their crest are very different in shapes. I have 9 this age and there are distinctively two different crest shapes amongst them.
Hello all,
A bit of a rant but also a cry for help. I've been trying to locate Buff Polish Chickens/Chicks/Hatching Eggs and failing miserably. I've checked every hatchery I can find, searched through Craigslist AND eBay but not a soul has purebred Buff Polish chickens. They're all mutts, mixed...
Hey folks,
I'm new to chicken genetics and am trying to wrap my head around all the different genes that influence a chicken's colour! I know there are a handful of posts already in regards to breeding buff laced polish and gold laced polish together.
Based on this post...
Hi everyone, I have a small flock of 5. For back story I got my polish rooster a year ago, he's about a year and 4 months old. When I got him I had to nurse him back to health from what his last flock did. Because of that I didn't rush getting him any friends, I waited until we were all ready...
This may seem like a silly question when you see my chickens and which breeds I am discussing here.
Buff Orpingtons, Polish (unsure if bantam or large fowl), and an Easter Egger.
This afternoon’s egg haul. The brown ones are my SGs. Bottom one is my 1yo KC duck’s. Top white egg is the one...
Hi! I have two roosters: buff silkie, tolbunt polish. And my hens are: white crested black polish, gold laced polish, tolbunt polish, white silkie, black silkie, grey silkie. And I am wondering if anyone has any idea what kind of chicks I could hatch with them:) polishxsilkie chickens are so...
Hi! I recently acquired a young golden laced polish frizzle rooster. I really love the coloring of the Tolbunts and Candy Corn - I was wondering what hens I should breed him with next season in order to breed towards those colors?
As an adult, have had chickens for 15+ years. Adore them all - we have a Heintz 57 flock - and we're particularly enjoying Houdans right now. What an affectionate breed! We're at 14 ladies right now who keep our large family in eggs, for the most part. Except now. When it's hot at Hades here in...
