Here is my thread for phoenix pics, none from Ideal, but there is a silver pair from Privett on pg 2. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=273550&p=1 I plan to get phoenix bantams from Aubrey of Boggy Bottom Bantams, those are his whites on the first page.
Thanks for the plug RAREROO. Personally, nothing against Ideal, they are a great company, but if you want really nice phoenix, do get them from a private breeder, you will be much happier with the outcome on quality I am sure. I havent seen Ideals, so cant knock them, but have seen other hatchy phoenix, and they arent much different than a stanadr chicken in the tail, and that's not what I would be looking for in a longtail breed. Our white roos, at 5-6 month would have been pushing the 3-4 ' mark if it werent for breakage. I can get you in touch with many great breeders if you'd like, just send me a pm Aubrey
Check with lockedhearts....She has phoenix....Here's an older thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=267822 https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=267824 I'm not sure if she still has these but she might have some others and they are really nice! Be sure you tell her I sent you to her.. Have a blessed Christmas.
I have three yokohamas from Ideal, which are similar to phoenixes, I should think. Anyway, two aren't very good quality, but one is pretty darn good! Here she is after her second molt:
