These are both supposed to be phoenix's the roo looks young, he has no spurs, and the hen has a flopped over comb. Sorry about the cell phone pics. They are still a little afraid of me and will fly out of my yard. I want to try and catch them tonight and clip 1 wing.

Thanks, I think the spurs are budding on the roo, and the hen hasn't laid an egg since I got her here about 4 or 5 days ago. I read that hens stop laying when they are moved, but start again in a week or two. The roo is taller but thinner than the hen, and the man I got them from called them Phoenix.
 
Just replied in the phoenix thread for you, but yes they are bb red phoenix, It take phoenix a lot longer to get spurs than most breeds, usually 9 months or so.
They floppy comb is just a common undesired trait, usually associated with hatchery stock, but they do appear to be pure best I can tell from the pics.
