Polish / Poland

The Polish is a European breed of chicken known for its crest of feathers. This ornamental, non-sitting breed lays a white-shelled egg.

The English language name of these birds is a misnomer, as they do not originate in the country of Poland. Instead, the oldest accounts of crested chickens comes from the Netherlands.

In addition to combs, their heads are adorned with large crests due to a cone (called a protuberance) on the top of their skull. The crests cover almost their entire heads.
