is this considered a rare breed?

[can you hear me now?]

I have a silver laced phoenix rooster and 2 hens. Are they considered rare breeds or are they more common. It doesn't matter to me but was just a curiosity.

I have never heard of silver laced phoenix, I have heard of silver phoenix. Can you post some pics?

All Phoenix varieties are considered old and rare by the SPPA's 2008 critical list...however, on the ALBC list, they are under the "study" list..."Study: Breeds that are of interest but either lack definition or lack genetic or historical documentation. "

I'd love to see photos, too...

Phoenix are beautiful! They definately aren't common, not many breeders really want to put the effort into maintaining the long, long tails. The longer the tail the more rare.
