Large Fowl Phoenix

Phoenix, are a true “eye candy“ bird. They are glorious with the long flowing tails, especially on the males. But also because of this, they do require more space so their tails stay in nice shape. With my experience with this breed, they are very friendly and love to see what you’re up to. They are, although more likely to develop frostbite due to having exposed wattles and moderate sized single combs on the males.  I recommend having them on nipples and keeping them inside or a heated barn/of the likes if you live somewhere that gets cooler winters. The hens do go broody and make great mothers to their young. I have observed that hens in this breed can grow spurs. Both males, and females should have single combs, white earlobes and slate legs. The Phoenix here in America were originally crossed with Onagadori to other hardier breeds to create a stronger bird but still keeping the multiple feathering and long tails. Please see the American Standard of Perfection to get more specific definitions of each color variety. 

A harder to find color, they have beautiful shades of gold, and a greenish black making them a spectacular bird to admire and watch around the farmyard! The females are more muted in color due to the sex differences but still have a golden head/straw neck with a salmon colored breast, and a brownish gray back. Crossing two Goldens together can give you all 3 colors! 

A stunning bird to see, with all the deep saturated and flashy shades of greenish black, red, and oranges, they are SUCH a gorgeous color and one that I can’t wait to gain an army of! I absolutely love the firey look of this color. They’re sure to turn heads! The females also are a reddish orange but not as flashy as the male counterpart.
