ballgunner Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 sometimes they get lice and with polish bantums you have to check there crest but otherwise i think they're alright with lice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom and Barbara Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 We have one of each and they've never been any extra trouble - we treat them just the same as the other hens. I was told to keep Polish separate from others but she gets on just fine with the other girls. The beauty of the Polish is they can't see you coming so are very easy to pick up and check head pom regularly. I haven't yet found any lice, one year in.
