Phoenix chicken
David, The feather site has a long list of groups of phoenix breeders / owners around the world. I would ask some of them about the gentility of this breed. Here is the feather site page: http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGP/Phoen/BRKPhoenix.html Also - I know you mean well, soonerdog...- chickenchatter

Phoenix chicken
David, How did you discern that he is a phoenix? I read that M.M. hatchery won't keep track of, nor tag, what the breed of "gift" chicken they give with their orders. Is it possible he is a different breed? And - to follow up on the Capon idea - I read on wikipedia that a capon will not crow...- chickenchatter

snake protection?
Oh my goodness - that's the creepiest situation! I'm so glad the man's granddaughter wasn't involved. So glad all the people and chickens are now safe. I have to show my b/f that pic! Thanks for telling us and sharing the photo.- chickenchatter

Phoenix chicken
This might be a crazy idea - but can some of the experienced people chime in if I"m totally crazy or not about this ? If the bird is a rooster - what about making him a Capon (castrated) ? I have no idea if you can just go to the regular vet's office and have this done - or how it is handled...- chickenchatter
