Polish Chickens: Australia Buying Guide
Polish chickens, also called Poland fowl, are immediately recognisable by their crests. Choose the named colour and feather type rather than assuming every crested chicken is the same breed.
Housing focus
Keep crests clean and dry and arrange feeders so birds can find them easily.
Choosing your birds
Check the listed age, sex and quantity choices, then open the matching offer for current prices and availability.
More about Polish Chickens
Character & features
Crest shape, colour and the presence of facial muffling are useful details when comparing Polish varieties. A large crest alone is not enough to identify every crested breed as a Polish chicken.
Match the birds to your purpose: a laying flock, an ornamental group or a planned breeding setup. Talk to us about the particular birds if temperament or handling is important to you.
Suitability & care
Keep crests clean and dry and arrange feeders so birds can find them easily. Take particular care with introductions to a flock of larger or more assertive birds.
Use small-bird fittings and introduce companions with similar space and feeding needs. Have shelter, feed and fresh water ready before the birds arrive. Our chicken house and run guide helps you prepare the setup.
Breed background
The Poultry Club records a long history of crested Poland fowl, with white-crested and laced varieties included in early British standards.

View Polish Chickens for sale →A prominent crest is the first thing many keepers notice about a Polish chicken. Choosing a Polish chicken for sale also means checking colour, age and sex. The crest is a breed feature, not a way to tell whether a bird is a hen or a cockerel.
Polish varieties on our listing
Our Polish Chickens listing brings together Buff Laced, Splash White Crested, Tolbunt, Crested, Silver Laced and Gold Laced options. Choose the variety first, then the available bird option. Prices and stock are shown with your selection.
White Polish hen or white-crested Polish?
White in a colour name may describe the crest, rather than an entirely white bird. If you want a white Polish hen, confirm both the body colour and the adult female option before ordering. Splash White Crested is the name of one of our varieties; it should not be shortened to an all-white hen.
What does Padovana chicken mean?
Padovana is an Italian crested breed name. British breed references use Poland for the Polish breed and mention historical names such as Paduan. Similar names do not prove that two sellers are offering birds to the same breed standard. Ask which breed and variety the seller means, especially if you want exhibition or breeding birds.
Is “padovic chicken” the same name?
Padovic chicken is not a name used on our current product listings. If that is the name you have been given, send us the bird’s description so we can understand which breed you are looking for. Use the breed name on the product page when ordering.
Choosing a crested bird for your flock
Look at the bird’s description alongside its photograph. Check whether the price is for a chick, an adult bird or a pair, and prepare housing for its size. If you are comparing fluffy crests, our guide to Polish, Silkies and their crosses explains why similar-looking birds may have different names.
Browse current Polish birds, compare chicken breeds or ask us about a particular variety.
