Our Polish chickens have really turned out to be beautiful birds! When the camera battery is charged I will take some pics to post. The only thing is we had to get them straight run and wouldn't you know, we got eight of this variety and all 8 of em are roosters! They are really beautiful though.

Roosters are charlatans. I had a donkey named Marty that out-blasted everything in the neighborhood.
I sometimes hesitate to admit it, but I have some little experience raising house chickens. I never invited them in, just to be clear, but they had an affinity for the kitchen that opened onto the backyard and corral. Had me some Barred Rocks, Leghorns, Rhode Islands, and even some Araucanas. Anywho, we got a fair amount of double-yokers, but they weren't really much bigger than the regular ones, but the two yolks were smaller. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it. I think.
Same thing here, my experience is the eggs were never that big regardless of yolks. We have been raising all kinds of chickens, roosters, ducks, geese even had some guineas at one time (they are impossible to keep on your property) for over 10 years now. We are expanding to rabbits and honey bees and possibly turkeys over the next couple of years.

Another pic of our red rooster and one of our black and tan Polish which are my favorite. Sorry for taking outside the pen, but their feeding time is still a couple of hours away so if I walk in there now I will be accosted! And yes that is a dead red hen in the picture, per usual we suspect foul play and per usual the prime suspect is one of the geese.

Our neighbors express gratitude for both our chickens and our honey bees..
