I received a Silver Duckwing Phoenix hen in a surprise box, and we decided to keep her. She lives in a mixed flock of much heavier birds, and spends a lot of time perching high.
As she is only 5 months old and fall is on the way, do I need to start thinking about moving her into the garage, or do the hens overwinter ok? I've heard mixed reports.
she is a big one for hanging out with me when I'm outside. Or rather on me!

Thanks for creating this thread! Can we all just pause for a minute to marvel at how wonderful the Phoenix breed is? We have two 19 week old pullets and they are sweet, delicate-looking, docile, funny, curious, and, surprisingly, don't get picked on by the larger and more aggressive breeds. They were sweet as chicks and are just as friendly as pullets. We are still waiting for them to start laying, but since they're doing "squats," I think this may be soon.
The only downside of this breed is that they are small and do like to fly. I had to trim their feathers two days ago because I found them perched on a fence.

I have a pair of golden duck wing phoenix that I bought at auction. They are beautiful and my girl Lilly lays about 3 to 4 cream eggs a week. In comparison to my Sexlink brown eggs her eggs are tiny and tear dropped.
