Description
This Polish rooster is a bantam chicken.
The Polish or Poland is a European breed of chicken known for its crest of feathers. The oldest accounts of these birds come from The Netherlands; their exact origins are unknown, however.[1] In addition to combs, they are adorned with large crests that nearly cover the entirety of the head. This crest limits their vision, and as a result can affect their temperament. Thus, though normally tame, they may be timid and easily frightened.[3]
Polish chickens are bred primarily as a show bird, but were originally productive egg layers. Accordingly, Polish rarely go broody and are noted for their white eggs. There are bearded, non-bearded and frizzle varieties.

Hi, Donna. Love your chicken/rooster series. I voted for this young man in the Which Do You Prefer contest. Both your entries are handsome, but I kinda like this one's "crown" of feathers. l/f

Hi Donna: Good to see another Georgia photography artist in FAA. Now to your "That My Boy". The clarity of the details are outstanding. The colors are "spot-on" vivid. The eye is clear and focused. The feather definition/action is amazing. All-in-all this is fantastic photography work in our opinions. BRAVO !!!! (L/F + now "following" you) Bill and Deb Hayes
