I'm not a huge fan of bearded polish. My buff laced was adorable bearded, but she's the only one I ever had that had a beard. Everyone else was/nonbearded. They're derpy enough, they don't need even more blind spots. My male makes my silkie male, David, look like Einstein, which is incredibly...
Really? Mine was awful sweet, but the dumbest of the polish, excluding my actually brain damaged buff lace. I did have a hen though that constantly pecked. Nor grabbing, but like she was using echolocation woth her beak

My male would have little popcorn moments. All of a sudden he'd spring like a foot in the air, flapping as if someone zapped him with a cattle prod. He loved flying into snowbanks too. I think I've got a picture of him doing that once
Real quick, can I ask which down color you seemed to have better luck with as adults? I only ask because I got 4 when I had them, 3 silvery and 1 almost a dark charcoal. They grew up all looking the same though
