We had an absolutely worthless buff laced crested polish roo and he was BY FAR our favorite chicken ever. He was SO FUNNY. One day, our dogs had dug a hole in front of the doors to one of our outbuildings about 8 inches deep and about 16 inches across. I knelt down to see if I could figure out what they were digging for, if anything, and Princess (yes...his name was Princess) can running over and stood right next to me...looking in the hole and then at me. Then in the hole. Then back at me. This went on for about 30 seconds until he thought there was a bug crawling on his leg...so he started pecking at it. He got so entranced with what was doing that he started spinning around pecking at his leg trying to get whatever imaginary bug he thought was there and then next thing you know...IN THE HOLE HE GOES. On his back. Legs up...feet sticking out of the hole. He just looks at me like, what the hell just happened, for about 15 seconds and flopped around trying to get himself out of the hole. He finally bounces up out of the hole and starts walking around with his head SUPER high and looking around to see if any of the hens saw...then nonchalantly meandered back to the coop pretending like nothing happened. Probably the hardest I've ever laughed in my life. He passed last year and I can't believe I'd EVER miss a chicken but that damn chicken made me laugh so much for a couple years that he was buried out back in a chicken coffin under his favorite tree, with a ceremony and everything. I think only chicken folks would understand...most people think we're a bit nuts...hahaha
This is a fantastic video. Thanks for introducing Nick to the Internet. My husband (who is also a rooster) was so sad over hearing that Nick is called a "useless rooster" that he went and ate an additional brownie tonight.
@caveman Versace No not all. I don't raise chicks. Only have my hens and roosters for eggs. I wish my rooster would not mount the hens bc they get beaten up by it at times. I live in a route area with MANY predictors and that is the reason I keep roosters around. I have a Polish rooster too and he reminds me of Nick in the ways she said. I wonder if it's the breed? He's my first polish. But yes I do love his personality so much. Such a funny guy lol
please dont let him hear he is useless it breaks my heart. but when you say he trips and keeps your attention i guess he had a part in your heart. he keeps the kids smile. go nick be safe
Thank you for being so good and nice to this little special Chicken , every one deserves a life and a good life. We are not all perfect thats why he should be loved as good as any other Chicken ...... SO NICE TO SEE PEOPLE BEING NICE TO ANIMALS ...........West Of Ireland.....................
I have one polish rooster like nick accidentally and he is just like Nick, these type of chicken they are shy and like you say somewhat useless. I'm still keeping him away.
Dude.. polish are the MOST FUN! My little golden crested polish hen "kura" is the most ridiculous /hilarious/worrisome chicken I have... she wanders away from everyone else, picks fights with my jersey giant, but always comes running when she hears her name... I love that girl l!!!! I'll take fun-over functional any day!
I am with you! I can't cull anything EVER when my girls no longer lay eggs, they pets and our pest control! Same with the boys bug bandits! We even have house chickens. The amount of joy and laughter they all provide is priceless, we have our own Animal Planet show through our windows no need for tv so I canceled cable! Lol see they are useful saved us money on tv bill
I adore ❤ Polish chickens ! I always want 1 .. and few days ago I got 5 of the useless chickens they said they do better when they are many of them than just 1 all alone so that is way I end up with 5 they don’t let me get just 1
Nick is so cute. I'm getting a couple of Polish hens in my order of 15 babys in July and I cannot wait. They are beautiful birds. Nick might not mount the ladies because Polish variety are very low on the pecking order. The other guys might beat the crap out of him. And he probably doesn't warn of dangers because all those feathers are blocking the view. I'm glad that you love him enough to let him just be a pet.
I just LOVE you guys!!! At first I was like...WAIT!! You kill your animals that aren't GIVING YOU something?? That upset me beyond words. I mean, a LIFE is a LIFE..regardless of what they are giving a human. They didn't ask to be born/put on your farm... Well what you don't want..Don't kill it for heavens sake.
Organic Raw Roots Farm it’s rlly easy to tell at about the pullet age if the Polish chickens are male or female. The males have spiky crest feathers that stick up more. The females have feathers with a more rounded tip that cover their eyes and form a round dome-shape. Also, the males are usually darker a buff than the females but that is not always the case.
Sell them to a good home or give them to a sanctuary they deserve to live I understand you have to keep the farm politics up so u can keep the farm thriving but no need to put them down. Glad u are keeping them
I guess it's because his hair is too long lol, and it's blocking his views to the environment, that causing him not send alert when there's any flying predator.
Just bought my first polish chicks today. Unlike you though as soon as i hear a rooster in the batch im making rooster sauce piquante lol. Guess im just heartless. Enjoyed your video they do like like nice birds too keep around
My polish rooster did that to. he would hide and he was very afraid of other roosters... and not to his rooster job ..... But i kept feeding him ......i put him in my breeding pen with 2 hens and he did his rooster job all he was afraid of was the other roosters he also needed a little extra food ......is your rooster in with other roosters ?
My crested polish rooster is awesome with his ladies, everything you could ask for in a rooster, the thing he hates most in life seem to be my boots if they are moving and my circular saw! He will charge across the whole yard to attack the saw the minute he hears it. As for Nick, how could you not love such a critter? Everything has it's place :-)
I feel personally attacked. Way to shit on nick. Sometimes we're born into circumstances out of our control. Just remember it was up to you to decide if nick was gonna live or not. Yet here you are shitting on him like some sort of sick joke.I hope Nick is resting in heaven and no longer a part of your sick game.
do you still have nick 3 years later?awwww, I am like you I dont want to kill something just because he has no use for me in the economic or food sense. there is nothing wrong with giving him away or finding another home through the humane society or other rescues. otherwise he seems like a happy guy.
I'm not sure if the video is supposed to be funny, facetious, or serious. The chicken is beautiful. Useless? Sounds like a cruel thing to say. Sorry, I'm not understanding this at all.
He is not useless because what you get back from him is the joy of your family and seeing his interesting personality🐥
I agree, every animal has a purpose
I think Nick might be my spirit animal....
Nick is everyones spirit animal... poor nick
OMG I was literally going to that same thing! He seems like what I would be like if I was a rooster
My spirit animal is a chicken

Great story!
You are a sweet and kind woman for not killing your chickens. Thank you for your compassion
This is a fantastic video. Thanks for introducing Nick to the Internet. My husband (who is also a rooster) was so sad over hearing that Nick is called a "useless rooster" that he went and ate an additional brownie tonight.
haha useless... but loved. Hope the brownie helped him feel better.
+Julie Nowell haha thanks! we are fans of polish chickens in this house.
At least he isn't mounting the hens. One good thing about Nick, there won't be any little Nicks running around. XD
caveman Versace but JTs point is that at least there wont be any more useless roosters because he wont procreate

Lol the way she talks about nick is how my mom talking about me to my relatives 😂😂😂
awe... well, we do love nick despite his challenges - im sure you mom feels the same :)
You can't help but love Nick. Just look at him!
Absolutely useless? More like absolutely fabulous.
You didn’t have to keep talking. I already love Nick.
As someone whose name is Nick, I can confirm that all of this is true. 😂
And that’s why y’all LOVE him!!!🤣❤️🤣❤️
He's beautiful and beauty is a "use"!! Yay Nick!
This is one of my favorite videos!!!! I love your channel!!!!!
Thank you for being so good and nice to this little special Chicken , every one deserves a life and a good life. We are not all perfect thats why he should be loved as good as any other Chicken ...... SO NICE TO SEE PEOPLE BEING NICE TO ANIMALS ...........West Of Ireland.....................

They are made for show, not eggs or meat
I have one polish rooster like nick accidentally and he is just like Nick, these type of chicken they are shy and like you say somewhat useless. I'm still keeping him away.
His job is bringing you joy

Dude.. polish are the MOST FUN!

I love that girl l!!!! I'll take fun-over functional any day!
LOVE nick the "useless chicken "
This cracked me up! We have one of those, too. A polish hen named Phyllis Diller.
I love you polish hen's name! That's great! ...you have to be of a certain age to appreciate that name...
lol!! Thanks. She was named by my mother in law and we “inherited” Phyllis when my MIL passed.
Cuteness overload
He might be useless but he is certainly adorable.
I am with you! I can't cull anything EVER when my girls no longer lay eggs, they pets and our pest control! Same with the boys bug bandits! We even have house chickens. The amount of joy and laughter they all provide is priceless, we have our own Animal Planet show through our windows no need for tv so I canceled cable! Lol see they are useful saved us money on tv bill
I just had to have these and they are such meanies to the other birds.
He’s probably useful for pest control 😁😁😁🐓🐓🐓
I adore ❤ Polish chickens ! I always want 1 .. and few days ago I got 5 of the useless chickens they said they do better when they are many of them than just 1 all alone so that is way I end up with 5 they don’t let me get just 1
Nick is Awesome!
Nick is just a good boy
Nick reminds me of HeiHei.
The chicken from Moana
YES!!!
Polish are fun dippy birds. 😆 My polish hen does the same hiding tactic. Master of camouflage.
haha ... well, at least he thinks he is!
Nick is so cute. I'm getting a couple of Polish hens in my order of 15 babys in July and I cannot wait. They are beautiful birds.

Nick is my spirit animal.... OMG love him... I have 2 polish hens... but i think one is a rooster lets see

@@yourlocalgenz-minusthecrin3987 hhhuummmm could be a rooster do you have Instagram I'll send you a pic. My white one is all rounded crest
Organic Raw Roots Farm oh k, when will u send a pic?
Oop, sorry I don’t have insta, but if it’s a white one with a rounder crest, it’s most likely a female
@@yourlocalgenz-minusthecrin3987 maybe ill try email... i think one is a boy haha
But he is so cute I agree no need to kill just enjoy his funny antics.
Sell them to a good home or give them to a sanctuary they deserve to live I understand you have to keep the farm politics up so u can keep the farm thriving but no need to put them down. Glad u are keeping them
I love useless Nick lol
I guess it's because his hair is too long lol, and it's blocking his views to the environment, that causing him not send alert when there's any flying predator.
This is like my rooster cookie! But he's a cockerel! But he such a happy rooster
Roosters and cockerels are both male chickens. But aren’t cockerels just younger males?
omg. i just ordered 3 of these. hilarious! someone just to sit around and be pretty among the hard workers!!
Sheesh I hope that fella got a beak trimming cause it might have been a challenge to even eat like that.
I got two chicks now. I got them for looks. Nothing else.
Awwwww... Nick❤
I love polish chickens
He might be a pet rooster then
Nicky is special.
Just bought my first polish chicks today. Unlike you though as soon as i hear a rooster in the batch im making rooster sauce piquante lol. Guess im just heartless. Enjoyed your video they do like like nice birds too keep around

There is no such thing as a useless animal or chicken!!!
LOL... He eats bugs
My crested polish rooster is awesome with his ladies, everything you could ask for in a rooster, the thing he hates most in life seem to be my boots if they are moving and my circular saw!

I know people like Nick too lol
Nick doesn't give a shit .. Be like Nick
I feel personally attacked. Way to shit on nick. Sometimes we're born into circumstances out of our control. Just remember it was up to you to decide if nick was gonna live or not.
