Polish chickens are bred primarily as a show bird, but were originally productive egg layers. Accordingly, Polish rarely go broody and are noted for their white eggs. Polish are very vulnerable to predators due to their reduced vision so extra care and protection must be practiced to ensure your small fluffy friends stay safe.
HISTORY
EGG FACTS
FEATURES
There are bearded, non-bearded and frizzle varieties. The Polish is a light, Continental breed. Its prominent crest is caused by a protuberance, or knob, atop the bird's skull, from which the feathers grow. It sports the V-shaped Comb and large nostrils commonly seen in crested breeds. Care must be taken so that the Polish's crest and beard do not get wet or mite-infested.
