If you’re hoping to buy Poland chickens in the UK, East Sussex Smallholders is a great place to start. We offer beautifully bred Poland bantams – often known as Polish chickens – available from Spring each year. These striking little birds are adored for their extravagant crests, calm temperaments and delightfully quirky nature - the Black and White ones I always call Cruella (DeVil)
Alongside live Poland chickens, we also supply Poland hatching eggs for anyone wanting to raise their own, and we usually have a small selection of chicks as the season progresses.
As pure breed bantams, Polands do best when kept with birds of similar size, and they shouldn’t be mixed with hybrids, who can be a bit too lively for them. They’re a brilliant choice for small flocks, family-friendly gardens, or anyone wanting a truly eye-catching breed.
All reservations are fulfilled strictly in the order they’re received once the season opens, so booking ahead gives you the widest choice.
Whether you want to buy Poland chickens, secure Poland hatching eggs, or reserve Poland chicks, get in touch and we’ll add you to our spring queue before the early batches sell out.
About Poland Chickens
The Poland chicken is one of Europe’s oldest and most distinctive breeds, instantly recognised by its dramatic crest and elegant posture. They’ve been kept for centuries as ornamental and companion birds, and today they’re still prized for their friendly, easy-going nature. With a huge range of colours and patterns, they really do stand out in any garden or smallholding.
Polands are naturally curious and gentle, making them excellent pets as well as attractive additions to a flock. Their impressive crests can occasionally obscure their view, so they appreciate a peaceful set-up where they can find their bearings easily. They’re not prolific layers, but you can expect a modest supply of small white eggs during the laying season.
Pros: Stunning appearance, sweet nature, ideal for families and smaller spaces.
Cons: Crests may need tidying now and then, and they prefer not to be kept in very wet or muddy conditions.
If you’d like a charming, friendly bird that always draws attention, the Poland chicken is a lovely pick.
