The Polish or Poland is a European breed of crested chickens known for its remarkable crest of feathers.

Though usually only a fair layer at best today, In France they were once 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.
