The Tolbunt Polish Chicks Never Expected This

[@alloneallove]

OH MY GOSH! I want 100 of them! 💖

[@BockBockBouquet]

Our sentiments exactly! 😄

[@baddogcustoms7496]

I have 53 total in my incubators currently lol sadly no frizzles

[@DiggingForHealth]

Polish chickens are so cute!

[@BockBockBouquet]

We love their silly hairdos and personalities! 😄❤️

[@explaincauseidontgetit3294]

We witnessed today, one of our polish hens…trying to crow! Turns out he’s a rooster! Watching a rooster practice crowing for the first time is so funny. And adorable!

[@BockBockBouquet]

The first crows are the best! We have noticed our young Polish roosters always sound like a super Mario brother at first lol. “Yee-ha!”

[@mygardenanddinosaurs]

Omgosh, I just found a tolbunt polish rooster that's available 15mins from me here in NC. I need some girls to go with him. Where do you get yours?

[@BockBockBouquet]

We purchased these hatching eggs from EBay. The breeder was in Alabama 😊

[@baddogcustoms7496]

Just out of curiosity, what part of North Carolina I’m at the Crystal Coast in NC

[@jjlepepe5875]

FYI All sand has silica in it

[@edkelly1639]

Thanks for making this video. My first set of chicks are two weeks old today. How long will you leave yours in the new brooder before putting in a coop?

[@BockBockBouquet]

Congratulations on your chicks! We like to let our chicks grow up in a pen side by side with the flock we will be integrating them into. We put a grow out pen in the coop/run and let them spend the next month growing up while seeing each other. Unable to fight through the fence. We think the best age to release and add the chicks into the flock is when they are 2.5-3 months old. We are not doing that with these chicks because as much as we just love them, they were hatched for others. We rehome them to our clients when they are 8 weeks old and are coop ready to begin integrating into their flocks. We have a video on the 3 steps we take to integrate chicks into a flock I’ll link below. With these methods we have the smoothest integration with the least fights possible kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZC4f3itl9tooZI

[@robotbuster1487]

Do chickens sneeze? I think one of my Bar Rocks sneezed this morning.

[@BockBockBouquet]

Yes they do, it could just be nothing to worry about maybe they inhaled some dust as chickens have very sensitive respiratory systems. Or it could be something more alarming, there are many poultry respiratory diseases, but your chickens would appear lethargic and ill, have bubbly eyes or runny noses. Also can swell their sinus cavities and eyes. Hopefully it was just a regular sneeze. Let us know if you need more help or additional information

[@baddogcustoms7496]

Chicken bronchitis is the most common respiratory issue with chickens, and for young chickens that can bring death pretty quick older chickens is just like the common cold if one sneezes another one could get it, or may not. It’s also been proven that baby chicks who don’t eat the embryo out of their egg shells have a much much weaker immune system, so are more likely to get sick and such.

[@babynieve9612]

Where did you get them from? Beautiful chicks 😍

[@BockBockBouquet]

Thank you! We order hatching eggs from eBay

[@crystalo3550]

Super cool looking chickens what is the name of that kind of chickens

[@BockBockBouquet]

Thank you they are Tolbunt Polish, half are frizzle feathers

[@crystalo3550]

@@BockBockBouquet thank u

[@victorian.1133]

Do you sell them??

[@BockBockBouquet]

We do but we will not be doing anymore hatches this year. So not until probably spring

[@friedmansfresh]

Is that quick chik/vinegar in the water or something similar? Seems very concentrated for such old chicks. Just wondering

[@BockBockBouquet]

It is 1 of the sav-a-chick electrolyte packets. And it’s a 2.5 gallon waterer, come to think about it, it’s actually diluted because one packet is per gallon lol. Their new packets mixes very bright orange. We used to use Quik Chik and it mixed as a more muted yellow color. I thought these were very bright as well. Since we hatched these chicks, and they weren’t under any shipping stress we had them on plain water since hatch, only a few times giving probiotics. But since it can’t hurt and with this move to a new area, thought to combat any stress with some electrolytes 😊

[@maryannhobbs2820]

Is the quikrete safe for the chicken? It doesn’t have concrete in it does it? I’ve been wanting to try it but not sure

[@BockBockBouquet]

Quikrete the brand also sells sand, it doesn’t have concrete in it. Just make sure it’s construction sand (coarse or medium) is safe for chickens. Play box sand is too fine and dusty it can damage their respiratory systems. If for a small area buying this little 50lb bags is fine, or you can go to one of those construction yards and buy the sand by the truckloads. They also have ton bags at the hardware stores. It’s very easy to clean and keeps their feet very clean. I scoop it like kitty litter

[@baddogcustoms7496]

@@BockBockBouquet great info thanks for the reply to this other comment but I have another question to add to it so let’s say that I live five miles from the ocean and have beach sand readily available. Is that a good thing because it’s all natural or is that a very bad thing because it’s from the beach??

[@addieanderson2043]

What color are the frizzel chicks

[@BockBockBouquet]

Tolbunt

[@bigbnunu8718]

Do you sell polish chicks. I'm having the hardest time finding them.

[@baddogcustoms7496]

Polish chickens were actually almost on the endangered species list at one time and this is one of the reasons I got into them. I am breeding them and hatching them just as fast as I can. I am at the Crystal coast of North Carolina. Love my Funky Chickens pets 😆

Hi Kelly this is karen I love my chicken out of all my chickens I have a polish roster an boy let me say he is so darn flogging all the time not shere what to do with him wow he is just a silly one Don’t go out with shorts on an sandals no Questions how do I get him to stop

[@BockBockBouquet]

You must try to break the behavior by allowing him to forget he enjoys attacking you. As silly as it seems just do your best to not let him attack you by watching him and tip toeing around him. After awhile of not attacking it will break the habit he’ll forget he likes to do it.

[@karenward3542]

Hi Kelly thanks for sharing the tip I will do that have a bock bock good day 👍🐓

I just unleashed havoc on my flock by introducing 4rir an Easter egger and the most aggressive of all my birds our barred rock aka Gwen since my daughter called her a punk rock

[@BockBockBouquet]

Lol! Our barred rock hen is named after a singer of a punk rock band :) Integration time can be stressful, we like to introduce through a fence for the smoothest integration possible.

@@BockBockBouquet I did that but I don't think anything could prepare them for what was to come. I wish I could share the pictures it's like some David vs Goliath scene.
