Well, I'm probably biased but I don't think so since I house so many breeds. But my phoenix boys are much like parrots. I hand raise them, I hand feed them and they live pretty much solitary lives. I can walk in a pen and ask them to step up and they do. I can take them out in public for educational promotions and they will perch all day long. I can take them to town and semi trucks and motorcycles do not phase them. I do however never ever put to adult males together. I have special perches that allow me to take 3 at a time, but there is a spacer board between them so they hear each other ,but do not see each other. I can house many juveniles together until about 6 months then the JUNGLE in them seems to come out. I have many colors but since it is spring I only have limited hatching eggs available. Jackie I have 6 eggs from the golden pen available. PM me at the ezboard site for details if you would?tp://p072.ezboard.com/bbackyardchickens Thank you J.J.
