CallyChook Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 i had a new hen day last week with a chamois poland hen and two miniature white silkie ladies enjoy, new hen days are the very best days in the world as far as I'm concerned!!!

scarlettohara Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Is it me or do Polands always look angry I like your silkie cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-DiamondChick07 Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 I think my Polands have a cold or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller30 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I would keep all the birds you got from this lady away from your bantams she must have a cold going round her birds as you said the silkie you got the other day from her has a cold you may need to get antibiotics from the vets if it doesnt clear up by itsself good luck oh and they are lovely photos leanne.

Redwing Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Those Polands are very nice looking are they sexed? the second one looks like a boy.. I would keep them separated until their colds have cleared up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-DiamondChick07 Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 They are sexed yeah, hopefully both hens! I'm not happy that I'm now having to nurse several Hens back to health Ive never had a sick bird! They are all eating and drinking, and ive popped garlic, ACV, minerals etc in the water and giving a warm mush for food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 They are sexed yeah, hopefully both hens! Hopefully being the operative word, Polands can't be sexed at five weeks. I hope they are both girls for you but I wouldn't put any money on it just yet. I've hatched quite a few Polands and have never been so sure so early. Unless the breeder is proficient at vent sexing they can't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-DiamondChick07 Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 The breeder said she can tell just by looking at the head feathers. I have no idea as totally new to Polands.. I'm getting stressed now first colds, now may not be girls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I took quite a few photos last year of one of my Poland hatches. Four hatched and only one silver laced was a girl Even looking back at the photos now I can't tell which one of the two silver laced is Doris At four weeks: http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=53301 Five weeks: http://club.omlet.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=53550&p=796648&hilit=crele#p796648 I guess this was around eight weeks, these two are boys but the crele inparticular looked like a girl at this stage: I think the first one is Doris: The crele finally turned into a boy at five months: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I accurately sexed some Polands at 9 weeks old but to be honest I was lucky with those two I'd say you have one girl one boy there but of course cannot be 100% sure If the breeder was convicing then I'd probably give them the benefit of the doubt This is where researching your chosen breed really comes in handy!

CallyChook Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I'd have to agree with redwing, the second one looks just like my Beaker did when he was that age.... now he's 11 1/2 weeks or so and defo a male, developing lovely sickles!!
