O, yes. She does look like a silver phoenix. Can't say that I've ever seen one, but that is what she looks like.

You might have to wait and see what kind of tail she gets. THe phoenix have a pretty big tail - even the hens!

Here are some pics of her as a baby. Will this help???

She looks heavier bodied then my phenoix, and has less comb, I would lean more toward an EE, I have a few like that and they are wonderful birds. It would also make more sense that it came from rainbow egg layer section,phenoix lay white eggs.

well she is certainly a very pretty hen, whether she is a phoenix or an EE. I always assumed the rainbow egg layer assort. would probably include white and brown eggs as well as blue and green. I thought of it as a rainbow of egg colors not just tinted eggs. I have 7 , four wk old golden phoenix chicks, from Ideal they have slender bodies and already are developing longer than the norm tails, I can definetly tell the phoenix from EE chicks.

I think a gold and silver and the legs are the right color
