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...
I am not new to chickens but I am new to having Silkies and Polish in my Flock. Actually they were supposed to be their "own" flock. So my current flock is mixed. They are all around 4 /4.5 months old. 11 Different types of chickens..2 Turkeys(a hen and a Tom) and 2 ducks. One of the chickens is...
Unfortunately I have to get rid of my amazing rooster due to my neighbors. He is perfect about 7 months old and a white polish chicken. He has such a unique personality. He got bullied by my other chickens so doesn’t have much feathers on the top of his head but they are growing back. His name...
Unfortunately, i have to rehome my perfect little polish chicken. He is the best and has such an amazing personality. He just started crowing in the morning and my neighbors complained. He is not aggressive at all and just an overall super funny sweet guy. He currently lives with 3 hens. He...
Yesterday I woke up and saw my polish rooster acting weird. He was standing up with his tail pointing down towards the ground. At first I thought he was just cold because this is the coldest it has been this year (55F low) and thought he would probably warm up and be okay. Today when I woke up...
Hello! I have two beautiful roosters that I can no longer keep to do neighbor complaints. I ended up with 3 roosters last year and want to try to re home two that get along with each other well and can be kept in the same coop. Bernie Sanders is a white Polish and Grand Duke maybe be a silver...
Hi Everybody!
I am an animal portrait artist who paints lots of chicken art. Several of my chicken art customers have told me to become a member of Back Yard Chickens, so here I am! You can see a lot of my chicken portraits, prints and note cards at www.robiniart.etsy.com or more specifically...
My neighbor, Cindy, has agreed to allow me to post a rehoming thread for her Roosters. She ended up with more than she expected, and each one needs a loving home. They're all roughly a few months of age, and various breeds.
Please contact Cindy via text or call. I shall post updates when...
We call him Harry. He's already talking to the ladies and alerting to all kinds of things. He is a total DERP though; clumsy and comical. Skittish about being handled, but he's a good boy!

A friend of mine breeds chickens, she was just about to start breeding Polish and was very excited, until her only Polish Rooster dropped dead. Now she can't find anyone who has what she needs. My Solid white Polish is too handicapped to breed.
She needs either a White crested black or a solid...
Helo, I was wondering, does anybody here know how to spot the difference between a male and a female polish bantam chicken???
Because a few months ago we got three polish bantam chicks and we were told they're all hens, but I'm starting to suspect the biggest chicken, Dwalin, might just be a...
I have a 14 week old buff laced Polish rooster that needs a new home. He just started crowing and we are not allowed to have roosters where we live. :(
He's an amazing guy-- very docile to people and good with my 3 pullets. I wish we could keep him! Need to find a good home asap.

Just got our very first chicken. He is about 4-5 months old and we have had him for about 10 days. He seems to be losing his crest feathers? Or maybe more/bigger feathers are coming in? Just making sure this is normal...thanks.
As a very green, inexperienced Polish Chicken (or any chicken) owner, I hoped to find someone's photographic progression of their chicks to help me determine sex or at least more accurately guess their sex as they developed.
We got 3 Polish chicks that were approximately 3-4 weeks old, with one...
I have a 8 month old white crested blue polish rooster, in August as he was molting I noticed the feathers on the back of his head had been plucked out. I first though he got into a fight with one of our leghorns since they are very moody birds. So I took him out and isolated him from the rest...
Hi! We have three 2 year old hens (2 lacewings and 1 easter egger). In June we ordered three 1 day old Polish girls to increase the flock, but as it happens, one turned out to be a rooster and one female got taken by a fox. So now we are integrating 1 Polish hen and 1 Polish roo. We tried...
We have a polish rooster 7 months old. Very handsome and nice! We got him as a chick and hoping to have a hen but we weren't so lucky! Unfortunately in our neighborhood, we can't have roosters.
Looking for a good home :)
Any suggestion where to look?

My young Polish rooster, he's about 5 months old, is starting to get pretty rude toward my other birds. He acts out against my polish hen, my brahma hens, my little Cochin hen and my sebright hen. He's a sweet, but skittish bird with me, and I really don't want to get rid of him, but if he hurts...
