Mystery Chicken...What is this?

[jbarrett]

be a good one to breed if it is a pullet, with long tailed breeds you want to breed the hens with the longer tails

Those of you with experience with Phoenix's, do you think this is a good show bird? I don't know the first thing about showing, but....
Also, do you think she's a straight Phoenix, a silver Phoenix, a bantam Pheonix...or anyhing else?
I love Backyard Chickens!

she is a pure silver Phoenix looks to be large fowl

to really find out you need to go ahead and show her it wont hurt and you can ask the judge(s) questions after judging and find out any flaws she may or may not have. i would show her and try finding a cockerel with a really nice long tail to breed her to.

jbarrett, that is a huge accomplishment, congratulations! I might need to look into doing that.

hdowden, Thank you so much for the advice. I think I might need to give it a try. By chance, how is the best way to find a good, suited, cockerel for her?

Thank you all so much!
