    LF Fancy White / Ginger dun Phoenix Cocks/Pairs

    I desperately need to clear space so that my remaining birds can grow their tails out safely; these birds are not culls! The whites are all recovering from a fall moult, however, which will be the best time to ship them before their feathers get too long and break in transit. This was their...

    Ohiki Chicken Thread

    If anyone is interested... I've been working on Ohiki for about 4 years now, but with a very, very limited gene pool. I'm at the point where unless I can obtain outside genetics, the line will suffer greater frailty and poor hatch rates, or I'll have to outcross and cull heavily for a few...

    I think this is a Phoenix but i'm not sure

    It does look like Phoenix from what can be seen in the photo. Can't speak as to quality as the photo is pretty limited, but he seems to have slate legs, white earlobes, straight comb, is slim, and seems to have the build. Looks like you have at least one Phoenix hen, too, that blue gold looks...

    Chicken Breed Focus - Ohiki

    I am a relative newcomer to Ohiki, one year in, and here are my thoughts: These are very different birds from Phoenix or other longtails. Those birds tend to be great free range birds, have superior flight abilities, and retain strong natural instincts that makes them a bit flighty at times...

    Post Phoenix Pics Please

    My hatch rates for the Phoenix are nearly 100%...I have WAY more birds than I need for the next generation, even with keeping 10+ males to grow out and being selective. My Sumatra, on the other hand...grrr.....

    Sumatra Thread!

    It looks just like the other dun, in the window, if you place them side by side..same tones on their fluff and also on their wing feathers coming in. And the one in the window can't be blue - no blue parents. Here are two blue chicks although these were taken last year...I actually thought the...

    Sumatra Thread!

    mcrooke: I'm lousy at sexing Sumatra until they have male feathering in, although I am going to try to start feather sexing at hatch to see how accurate that is. I have been trying very hard to capture the difference between the dun and black Sumatra chicks on camera now that I have both of...
