The Ancestors of Poland Chicken

 The Poland is not the Red Jungle Fowl descent 

The red jungle Fowl is the father of most chicken in the world. The light Brahma and the small serama are the descent of the red jungle fowl. The soft plumage silkie also descent of jungle fowl. 

I am amazed the Crested Poland. Sometimes i think the Poland has very different crest and small v-shape comb. I think the poland is not the jungle fowl descent. Finaly i know the chicken is not the red jungle fowl's descent. 

I love the chicken. It is various color plumage. I like the laced color like sebright bantam. THe chicken lokks tame and docile. Unfortunately the chicken is not good sitters. 

I still confused what is the ancestors of the Poland. Perhaps the Poland has ancestors that is similar to them.

Cut the Polish Chicken hair

Polish Chicken is a unique ornamental chicken whose has crested. The crested often cover the eye so they difficult to walk. Some polish chicken owner cut the hair. I think it is a funny activity.

The Crested hair is long. The owner supposedly cut the hair

The owner is better to cut the hair so they can find the food easily. If you want cut the crested, you can use a sharp scissors. You do not have to go to pet salon to cut this chicken hair. Order your friend to hand the chicken. You cannot cut the chicken hair alone. Do not hold the chicken hard because it can make the chicken stress.
