*Jan 1 Update: Shipping will resume March 1, weather dependent. I will be making judgment calls on the weather in your area. Aside from inclement weather and temperature extremes, orders will be filled in the order that they are received. Local pickups may be available sooner depending on availability from test hatches.

The Tolbunt Polish is a polish breed, and the color is tolbunt. They are recognized by their large crests and beautiful Tolbunt patterning. Polish chickens are listed in the APA Standard of Perfection, but the Tolbunt color pattern is not recognized at this time. Breeders are eagerly working to improve their lines and have them accepted by the American Poultry Association.

Egg Laying

Tolbunt Polish hens lay a moderate amount of medium-sized white eggs. 

Appearance & Temperament

Tolbunt is a laced mottled pattern of brown, black and white. They come in frizzled and smooth feather types. These chicks have a chance of either being frizzled or smooth. The tolbunt pattern is not easy to maintain and improve, so this is an ongoing project.

Tolbunt Polish are a docile bird ideal for confinement or urban situations. The hens can be quite chatty and the roosters friendly. Beware of predators as their crests can restrict eyesight, so self-defense probably isn’t their strong suit. They're easily startled, but completely adorable.
