The White-Crested Black Polish chicken is a striking, small-to-medium ornamental breed, famous for its dramatic white crest of feathers that sits atop a sleek black body. Hens typically weigh around 4 to 4.5 pounds, while roosters weigh about 5.5 to 6 pounds. They lay around 150 small to medium white eggs per year. Though not known for heavy egg production, they are prized for their calm, friendly temperament and unique appearance. Due to their large crest, they can be a bit more vulnerable to predators, as their vision is partially obstructed. These birds are best suited for a peaceful backyard flock or as show birds, bringing a touch of elegance and charm to any coop.
