Polish Origin

The Polish Breeders Club (USA) www.polishbreedersclub.com has posted a rather roughly translated article from the Polish, http://www.polishbreedersclub.com/polandsrespublica.htm (seen Oct 2009), whose original Polish authors mount an impassioned if unfortunately garbled argument in favor of the Polish chicken having originated in the area which is now Poland; granting that other countries later obtained the breed through trade and continued to improve on it. They make a point that fluffy crested chickens were known in the area for centuries, bolster it with romantic Polish poetry from the 1700s, with the dispersal pattern of crested and five-toed fowl across the continent, and some other interesting historical bits. It would be great if someone familiar with the language could get a better translation of the article. It seems as if good sources are needed for the various points of view, ie. did the Polish Chicken originate in Poland, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Russia, or where? --Krnntp (talk) 09:01, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Broody or not?

The intro section says that these chickens don't go broody, but then the "Additional" section says they are broody from Feb. to July. Which is it? (And can the "Additional" section be renamed or merged into some other section? It's not a descriptive subject heading.) Aardnavark (talk) 12:56, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Polish are generally not broody. I'll fix it. Steven Walling 20:22, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
