Poultry
Polish
B tier
Polish eggs are white to tinted small-medium eggs from the crested European breed—layers can be surprisingly decent for an ornamental-looking bird, with clean mild flavour. Crest feathers do not affect the egg; watch for vision-related free-range challenges that can affect forage quality. Cute cartons from fancy keepers; whites are good for recipes needing neutral egg taste. Size may run smaller than heavy dual-purpose breeds.
Also known as: Polish egg, Crested Polish hen egg

History
Crested Polish-type fowl were kept in Europe for show and utility eggs.
Polish varieties entered American standards as ornamentals with egg use.
Purely fancy breeding reduced focus on egg metrics.
Backyard Polish flocks sold small white-tinted eggs locally.
