Post Phoenix Pics Please - Page 156

Here's a pic of one of our chicks that we hatched about a month ago trying to figure out if it is a pullet I think it is but not sure any help would be appreciated

 

 

 

looks like a roo to me..

It's a Boy :)
Congrats haha

 

 

male to me also, here's why

comb aside, note the reddish feathers in the shoulder and the black coming in on the breast, your hens wont have this, also note the pointed hackle feathers, pullets will be rounded. A very few rare cases you will get a cockerel feathered pullet, but with the comb size, color and  pointed hackle, it all adds up to boy.

Here are some photos of my Phoenix youngster that we have hatched so far this year. We have a number of younger hens to go with these boys. I would appreciate any comments on the birds. They are very rare down here in Australia.

for young birds they are looking good. Nice shape to most of them, once the feathering comes in better you can tell more about what you have. I like all the blue reds, those are fairly rare here too

 

 

Thank you, This is our first time with the phoenix. My son got a pair at the national show in columbus, ohio last fall...when he saw this post he reminded me that the people he bought them from said they came from stewart longtails we had 6 out of 11 hatch from our first batch we are incubating 14 more now and she is sitting on 4 so hopefully we get some pullets looks like we're going to have some roos for sale

Interesting.. do you know who you bought them from?

 

Amanda Stewart of Stewart Longtails

I am not sure of their names, but they had a few the were selling. they said they had bought some eggs, and then lost interest in the breed and were only keeping a couple roos because they were so pretty. I know they weren't from ohio though

looking for bantam eggs if you sell and ship bantam eggs please pm with your price for a dozen and what color(s) you have thank you
