Kelpie,
What you have is a good looking BBRed Phoenix. The "American Onagadori" is only termed by myself and Mr. Hyde so unless its from either of ours, its really not "American Onagadori" or anything related because you can't trace the source back. I agree on you about folks who wouldn't stop beating on a dead horse but hey, its life. Nevertheless, you have such a beautiful healthy bird. Congrats!

Thank you for weighing in! The guy I bought the eggs from, John Reed in MD did say his line came from Cy. But having absolutely no documentation or knowledge (bought off ebay) I always took this with a grain of salt. His roo did appear to have a non moulting tail though, in the pictures he was holding it above his shoulders and it nearly touched the ground. So if it doesn't look like one of Cy's BBR's then I guess it is a phoenix.
