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...
Hi everyone! Here’s my issue..I need some guidance. I’ve had bantam chickens for about 3 years now.
-November 2024 I added a bantam polish to my flock to accompany my other Polish. That polish integrated well with the group
-February 2025, my only silkie, who is also top hen, goes broody...
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...
I have one pure white silkie, one brown silkie cross, a lavender Orpington, a Polish hen and a Polish rooster (doesn’t identify as a rooster, makes zero sound and lays on eggs) who are 1.5 years old and need a new home. They lay well besides in winter, and come with a free 1.5 year old coop and...
:pop :frow:D Hillo, I'm S Raven. I have 4 pullets / cockerels that I don't know the sex of. I'm hoping you fellow chicken fanatics will help me decipher the genders of these lads and ladies. There is multiple breeds in my beautiful collage, and I'm hoping for any suggestions on the full mix...
Hi everyone,
This is my first time having chicks but we had a v.stubborn broody silkie so I twist DH arm into buying her some day old chicks (chickens for my chicken don’t count right) … I think I may have had worst luck and have all boys . They are 7 weeks old today. I’m hoping to still keep...
Long time lurker, first time signing up and posting!
tl;dr
What pairings will result in the best coloured chicks?
I have quite a pretty bunch of polish at the moment but new to colour genetics and matter how much Google trawling I do, I just can't seem to get to grips with the base elements I...
Hello y’all….
Sooo I’ve looked all over and can’t seem to get an accurate answer. I have a golden laced polish rooster crossed with white crest black polish hen, hatching eggs in incubator. Will they be black? Can they be sexed by color? Please help!!
So we picked up a frizzle polish rooster at an auction a couple months ago. We couldn’t pass him up as he was a beautiful color and was being picked on and missing feather. This is the first o have ever owned polish chickens but he has made me fall in love. He is the sweetest rooster we have...
Is my Polish chicken a hen or a roo? She is about 4 and a half months. She’s not crowing but loud and in charge. She is definitely redder and bigger around the face than the other two. What do you think?
Hey so i made one of these when the chicks were way too young but at this point they seem to be growing all their feathers and wattles are starting to show
There are three polish (black beak and two unnammed as they have been twins that i cant tell apart until now) and a serama (buttercup my...
Hi! This is my first post on here but I recently got my first chicks and I’m starting to get worried if I have a few cockerels( I tried my hardest to see if I could sex them with the tips I found online when I picked them out ), I have 3 polish bantam chicks and a bantam serama the polish are...
I have three almost four week old chicks, all different breeds. I know silkies and polish are notoriously hard to sex, but my polish seems very aggressive. Anytime they are out in the yard it jumps up and flies toward the other two. Then starts chest bumping. It also always gives me what I call...
Hi, I need help sexing these Appenzeller Spitzhauben, Barnevelder and white crested Polish chicks!
I bought one of each of these and a white bearded silkie that the seller guaranteed is a girl or I can bring it back for a laying female or 2x money back.
They are all 6-7 weeks old
I have a...
