The first of several varieties of
Polish was the White Crested Black.
From these the Dutch breeders orig
mated all the other varieties. includ-
ing the subject of the accompanying
illustration, the White Polish. They
have immense crests, the larger the
better, provided they are round and
full. In size and shape they are much
like the White Leghorn. but have
blue or white legs ahd white skin.
They are gentle and thrive well in
limited quarters, provided the soil is
dry and the fowls are kept away
from dampness. The hens lay large
numbers of white-shelled eggs and
are considered nonsitters. The
chicks are rather delicate unless they
are kept dry. Dampness is fatal TO
young Polish.
