They were known in Europe by the 1600s, popular in France for eggs, and arrived in America by the 1830s, becoming ornamental show birds due to superior egg layers like Leghorns emerging

What to Expect:
-Easily startled: Their large crest can limit their vision, making them easily startled or skittish by sudden movements or noises. It is recommended to approach them calmly and talk to them to avoid alarming them.
-Social: They are typically social birds and thrive in a flock environment, often forming close bonds with other Polish chickens.
-Non-aggressive: They are not generally aggressive towards humans or other chickens. However, their crest can make them a target for pecking by more aggressive breeds, so careful integration into a mixed flock is necessary.
-Crest care: The large crest can become waterlogged in cold or wet weather, potentially causing the chicken to get chilled. In such situations, it may be necessary to dry the crest or provide additional shelter.
-Predator vulnerability: Limited vision due to the crest can make Polish chickens more vulnerable to predators. Providing a secure and predator-proof coop and run is crucial.
-Housing: They may benefit from a more confined environment like a coop and run rather than free-ranging, due to their limited vision.
