Standard phoenixes. Got my first 4 a few years ago (4 I think)). It was an older trio (already 2 or 3 at the time) and a feathered out pullet about 10 weeks.
Since then they have multiplied to 7 related adults, and 7 related grow outs plus a trio unrelated I added just to loosen the strain on genetics. This count doesn't include about 30 that I'm not keeping/have already moved on, plus 3 I was going to keep but got into accidents
Lots of colors have come out of the originals, which were all golden duckwings.
Excellent brood mamas, taking giant clutches and often open to adopting if done right away.
Not sure in egg count since they're always building nests hidden away and coming back with babies, but I once found one that had 30 eggs before I pulled duds out
They live to roost, and the mama roosting here took her babies about 15 feet in the air at 6 weeks old to roost
@JacinLarkwell I see that your rooster appears to have a red chest, which I didn’t notice before. Is this true?Yes, however I've been told most of my chick this year have other genes since theoretically i should just have more carbon copies of the parents which I'm not getting
No, that's just a bad picture. He has a black chest and long golden hackles@JacinLarkwell I see that your rooster appears to have a red chest, which I didn’t notice before. Is this true?
Ah, ok.No, that's just a bad picture. He has a black chest and long golden hackles
I have 1 EE and she lays a light olive eggHi!
I have decided i am going to make this thread to get information about different types of chickens.
So far, i have made an Orpington post, and that was very helpful. If you have a cool breed of chickens, could you please list some facts about your birds? So far i have White Leghorn. (and Orpington, jeez their pretty)
Thank you!
EDIT: If you have an Easter egger or olive egger, can you tell if they lay eggs and what colors they are? Blue and green are the main colors but i was wondering if their was a difference.
I like the little gray one and the one in the back on the right side. Which are they? I'm not versed in breeds yet.i only have bantams, this is my mixed flock of them.
i have:
3 bantam cochins. colors: birchen, black tailed red, and splash
a bb red oegb
a dark brahma bantam
and a buff brahma bantam roo
