The
Polish or
Poland is a European
breed of
chicken known for its crest of feathers. The oldest accounts of these birds come from
The Netherlands; their exact origins are unknown, however. In addition to combs, they are adorned with large crests that nearly cover the entirety of the head. This crest limits their vision, and as a result can affect their temperament. Thus, though normally tame, they may be timid and easily frightened.
