Sharing my adorable chicks as they hatch. So far I have 7 chaos babies that hatched in odd pairs because I found hidden fertile eggs and couldn't stand them dying after developing so much. I now am in lockdown for my intentional birds.
My current mature flocks contain
Polish -3 roosters,3 hens...
I am picking up some silver laced Polish in 5 days, but are they APA standard? Are silver and silver laced the same thing? Whenever I google silver Polish I just get pictures of the laced ones. I just want to double check before I get these birds, as they are quite expensive and I need to be...
They just hit 5 weeks. I'm getting mixed signals from both of em. Any help is appreciated. No comb-knobs OR signs of reddening faces, or waddle formation. I know it's still early, but I'd like to have a backup plan for them in case they're both males. I already have a rooster in my mini flock...
So in my flock, I bred my former silkie rooster with my polish, I got a Polish Silkie mix, Oreo. I now have a Cochin bantam frizzle, Frizzle Rizzle, I bred the two and hatched a beautiful chick out, I can now see it definitely has the frizzle genetics, but I really want it to have a poof like...
IT is 4 month old today and hasn't crowed. I have no clue if it's a hen or roo .. I think it's a hen because of the saddle feather NOT showing strong. Behind her is an olive egger roo and I see saddle feathers more defined on him even though he is younger. But I am not sure...
My Polish Eli and my Serama Sassy.
My Bantam hatch rate ended up being pretty high in the boy ratio sassy squats So I’m praying she’s a girl. Still on the fence about Ellie
How do I stop my baby chicks from pecking each other’s head feathers out ?
I have two 3 week old white crested black chicks that , bully the rest of the babies and they and only they do this
Update : I think I figured it out , the pecking really only stared when thier extra top head feathers...
Hey y’all! So hopefully I can make my question clear. If you are familiar with the Polish showing realm you would know that you don’t want white tips on their wings. If a bird I have has white tips on their wings (which a few do) how would I go about breeding that out? i want the white tips out...
This is my first thread! 🎉 I have recently gotten my hands full with 17 chickens! (We actually had 54 meat birds too, they’re gone now... more coming in 10 days ;-; ) Now I have tried to do some research on Polish chickens before. Certain questions that I guess aren’t popular. So here, is a...
7 days ago my polish hen was injured when my frizzle rooster, then my Wyandotte trying to jump on her back. She just kinda went down and hadn’t been able to walk since. I’ve nursed her continuously for 7 days: I feel like we are finally in a real good place as she has been able to stay in her...
Hello! I would like to know what is the difference between a Padovana and a Polish chicken.
Is a Polish bearded a Padovana? Or there are more differences in these breeds? Is it a difference between american and european classification? They have different listing on wikipedia...
Hello everyone, Recently I made some new additions to my flock. Any help identifying the breed and sex will be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
1. Bantam pullet, around 4 months old. She is a great forager and a very active bird. She has a very Sebright-ish look to her. What breed is she...
