difference between pheonix and onagadori

[Jake G]

I have a pair of onagadoris and 1 pheonix can anyone tell me the difference between an onagadori and a pheonix?

I know this is an old question, but I've been researching phoenix chickens and had wondered the same thing. I found a good article and thought I would share it here for anyone else that's been wondering the same thing.

maybe this is a little off topic but can you mix/house in the same pen the different colors of Phoenix bantams together for example silver duck wing with a gold duckling and a bb red and still get the parent colors or ????

That's a good question- I'm pretty sure if the different colors were to cross breed you would end up with mixed colors. If you are wanting to keep them pure bred you'll need to give them separated areas- keeping the roos separate until breeding time and then allowing him access to only those hens you want him to fertilize.

As far as mixing colors- I think I would like seeing one of these roos breed with ALL my girls. I've seen pics of some lovely mix breed Phoenix chickens.
