Although this may be a thread about the specific Polish breed, however, your queston is valid for all breeds. I'd suggest that you're better off posting under "Injuries" to get more appropriate and efficient advice. Good luck...

thanks all for the bathing advice! i must say i'm relieved to know i could bathe them

Let me also undersand, how exactly do you bathe them-in a bowl? Squirting them? Shampoo?

k thanks, i never knew!

Interesting, do you mean dust or water bath? I thought chickens are scared of water, is there an age that's safe to bathe them? I'd love to know, bec one of my roos really doesn't smell that pleasant...

Thanks all!

I'll add also, I posted this question in a different thread as well and someone claimed it was cockerel

I could tell these polish are tough. The white one I knew already is male, it's too obvious for several reasons. But the brown one-looks so much like a pullet, but she crows, and boy does she crow! even in the afternoon!

I have two chickens that are about 2 and a half months old now and I started hearing crowing from the every morning, but this morning I took a look and noticed that indeed BOTH are crowing, I didn't think both were roosters. Please let me know if anyone could suggest something. It could also be...

Thanks all for the help, I see most see it as a pecking order thing. I guess I'll try it.

I understand what you're saying, thanks for the insight. I'll try this

don't worry abt the changed focus, i appreciate the side help, it's definitely kind of you to mention it since it's been already mentioned!

And what does that accomplish, avoiding becoming the bottom of the pecking order? And also, is it successful or do they still fight at it? I'm just trying to understand chicken nature, so just explain if you dont mind what they're trying to do to you and what you're trying to do back (and also...

It seems like most arent't getting it. The cockerel gave me no problems yet, ONLY the hen is biting and being moody, but thanks for the article eitherway, at least I could read up about roosters, so they dont get too comfy etc

Maybe, what should I do now, should I at all change in the way I do things? should I avoid allowing her on my lap? it's strange because she comes by herself yet still only wants my lap, my hand gets her nervous...

Listen everyone, I could understand both opinions about the pet-livestock outlook, but that's not really what I started this thread about. Let's try to focus on the question, what's the reason for the hen's change in behavior?? Could anyone suggest something here? Argue about the pet-livestock...

You should know that I only changed my mindset from what you wrote now to holding them more because of this site, as I thought it was indeed good for their development etc, being that I honestly am a total beginner in the whole chicken thing even less than a year. I appreciate you reopened my...

Honestly, I imagine the usual use of the word "behavior" for this category refers to the behavior in regards to the egglaying, but eitherway, I doubt this is egglaying behavior, and I'll post here because this category seems most befitting. Alright, I finished my intro, now to the point. I'm...
