My lovely little white crested poland chick with one of my chamois polands.

Arn't they just beautiful....... hope all goes well.

Thanks to you both! He's probably Blue but he has some white feathers coming through so not sure what's going on there! I don't really mind as he's such a cutie and looked like he wasn't going to make it (Had to help him out of the shell after I had lots of various chicks pip and die in my incubator )
The chamois were in a different incubator so I have loads of those beauties running about- as well as cream legbars and light sussex. The polands are the funniest though - they are quite mad!

Hi, the feathers will probably turn out blue- it's hard to breed a good coloured blue hen- the shades vary, what everyone wants is an even colouring- hard to obtain, you have so much "waste" and breeding black to blue (as i do) is even worse- i have no blue chicks yet this year- and only 5 from 70 last year

Oh dear feel bad now that I may have your only blue of the year! :lol: Will post more pics in a few weeks when he starts feathering up properly!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: no problem -you are more than welcome that's the luck of the draw- i have one incubator and two broodies on poland eggs so, fingers crossed- two of my blue hens are older than me :lol: and i only have a year old hen to replace them with- hope they last another year
regards, David

Thought I'd update with new pics of the lovely poland- he now has black feathers too! A few white feathers in his tail, lots in wings- looks like my mottled pekin did when he was a chick!
So... he's not a blue David so I can stop feeling bad :lol:

Seriously cute photos!!!!

He is incredibly cute- I think he's even sweeter as he's the only odd poland amongst all my chamois ones! I love the angel wings thought- hadn't thought of it but it's soooo true!
Every time I hatch there's at least one I fall deeply in love with! :roll:
