Polish chicken beardless - decorative hen
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.
Polish chickens are bred primarily as a show bird, but were originally productive egg layers. Accordingly, Polish rarely go broody and are noted for their white eggs. There are bearded, non-bearded and frizzle varieties.
Though the derivation of the Polish breed is unclear, one theory suggests that their ancestors were brought by Asian Mongols to Eastern Europe during medieval times, and thus, could have originated in Poland. It is also believed that immigrants could have brought the breed's predecessors from Spain or Italy in the late 1500s. The Polish was standardized in the Netherlands and declared a thoroughbred in the 16th century. Chickens bearing a strong resemblance to the Polish can be seen in paintings from the 1400s, and the breed was extensively portrayed in Dutch and Italian paintings from the 16th through the 18th centuries. Though usually only a fair layer at best today, In France they were known as an excellent producer of eggs. The American Poultry Association states that the breed was introduced to America between 1830 and 1840. The breed was, during a certain period of time, favored by American farmers and chicken fanciers. The American Poultry Association accepted three Polish varieties into the American Poultry Association’s Standard of Perfection in 1874; additional varieties were accepted in 1883, 1938 and 1963
Pierwotne kury czubate najprawdopodobniej przywędrowały do Polski z południowej Rosji, z koczowniczymi ludami Mongolii. Ówczesne czubatki przypominały kury pawłowskie lub sułtanki. Czubatka polska wędrowała przez Niemcy, Holandię, Anglię do Włoch (Padwy). Uszlachetnione zostały w Holandii, Anglii i w Niemczech. Ptaki które w tym samym czasie w Polsce kury, które często były hodowane na wsiach i dworkach, zostały do dzisiaj prawie w niezmienionej postaci, lecz jest ich bardzo mało, nazwane zostały Czubatką staropolską.
Jest to odmiana Czubatki polskiej, różniące się od brodatej brakiem brody i barwą czuba, która ma zazwyczaj inny kolor niż reszta ciała. Kura ta pochodzi z Polski, zostały dopracowane w Anglii i głównie w Holandii, stąd nazwa Białoczub Holenderski. W Niemczech nazywane są Holländer Haubenhühner, w Holandii Hollandse kuifhoenders, nawy te są błędne. Nazwy na szczęście ulegają zmianom. W Polsce nazywane potocznie Białoczubami polskimi. W krajach anglojęzycznych od początku nazywane były „Polands”, „Polnish”, polskimi nazywane są także w Japonii i obu Amerykach.
