Black White Crested Polish
The White Crested Black Polish is a striking ornamental breed known for its lustrous black plumage, contrasting white "pom-pom" crest, and V-shaped comb. Weighing 4–6 lbs, these docile, often-flighty and a bit jumpy birds.
Appearance: They are famous for their large, bouffant head crest, which can limit their vision and being jumpy.
Egg Production
Color: White.
Quantity: 100–200 eggs per year.
Size: Small to medium.
Habits: They are generally non-broody and are considered average layers, often valued more for their looks than production.
Temperament: Generally calm and friendly, though they can be timid or easily spooked due to limited sight.
Maintenance: They are considered high-maintenance because their crests need to be kept clean and dry to prevent eye infections or debris buildup.
Vulnerability: Their limited vision makes them susceptible to predators, so they require a secure coop and run.
Hardiness: They prefer warm, dry climates and do not handle extreme cold or wet conditions well.
Origin: While sometimes debated, historical evidence suggests they came from Spain to Holland, where breeders refined them in the 16th and 17th centuries.
