I got my white Phoenix at tractor supply. The employee picked two out of the bunch and ended with the pair. However, he started flying over the fence and going to nearby lots and didnt come back. But here is a pic of him with his long tail.

Gorgeous!

I had Silvers. Gorgeous birds! The hens were sweet and one hatched a clutch of eggs. The roosters were nasty! Meanest roosters I've had. I still remember my friend screeching at the top of her lungs and running away from my tiny little Phoenix roo

I read a couple of posts here describing Phoenix Roosters as mean. Guess I am lucky - I have maybe 20 roos and 20 or so hens - most of them will eat out of my hands and some will fly onto my shoulder.

Cool!!! That's how mine will be... As they have been bred for freindlyness! Can you please post pictures? I would absolutely LOVE TO see them!!

I have a pair of BBR Phoenixes I acquired from Toni Rivers, the secretary of the American Phoenix Breeders Association and the birds are a total ham. I just entered them into their first show and the cock earned BB, Ch. AOSB, Ch. LF, and 3rd Best Overall so I’m a happy camper.

Awesome!

Are you getting bantams or LF? I don’t know much about bantams but if you plan on showing LF, Gold, Silver, & BBR are the only accepted varieties. The Fawn Silver DW and the Blue BR birds are gorgeous project birds though.

Oh wow, that’s amazing— post pics when you get them! I want to work on a spangled project for myself but I’m afraid of tarnishing their lines.
