“For being only a few days old she, Maude, is not sociable at all. I can only imagine that she will get worse no matter how much I cuddle with her which is a shame. Beautiful colors, poor temperment!”
Ah! The polish do tend to be a bit more on the "quirky" side of the personality spectrum. They can be absolute joys to be around one day and a terror the next! Sometimes this may be due to their usually being on the low end of the pecking order and may vent some of their frustration out on their poor flock keepers. In addition to cuddling Maude (I love the name!), perhaps some of these tips may help her become more sociable: My chickens run away whenever they see me. Can I tame them? Please let us know if we can answer any questions or address any concerns. We are always happy to help!
“I got 1 polish bantam with my order and she was the first one to greet me! What great personalities they have! She definitely stands out amongst the little flock!”
Thank you for sharing your photo of your cute little White Crested Black Polish Bantam! I wonder if she enjoys looking at herself in the mirror :-) We are happy that all your babies are thriving and hope we can assist you with any of your flock needs in the future!
“First time owning a Polish. At first she wasn’t friendly and screamed every time you picked her up. Now (14 weeks old) she is our friendliest chicken! She “purrs” when you hold her and she follows you everywhere.. We have 9 bantams and she is not on the bottom of the pecking order. Would definitely order a polish again :)”
