Post Phoenix Pics Please

[dvang3]

at $3 each, that's a steal as long as they are decent birds to work with ( no need in getting something just to feed if it wont fit your goals), and if they are blue gingers or something non standard, that generally is worth a lot more money. My eggs cost that or more...haha...

On the silkied hen, she may be phoenix type, but if she has silkied feathers, she's definitely not a phoenix by definition, just a phoenix hybred. Would make for an interesting looking bird though. If they are 3 foot and in bad pens, they should be decent lines, like Amanda said, a pic would be nice, but sounds worth $3 for sure. Like you said you can always cull and sell off the ones you dont like ones they get cleaned up and new feathers on where you can tell a little more about them.

also if it's a ginger based bird, you'll have no problem making duckwings out of them, just breed them to duckwings...

So you are saying that Ginger Phoenixes are worth more than standard colors?
That is a good question about what their coloring is. I am going to need Amanda and your help on this one. I do believe ... don't quote me it has some kind of ginger in it?
It looks more like a splash coloring with white and ginger. Whenever I go back I will get pictures (if they are not already bought)... I am mad at myself for not getting them...
They are mostly 1 year old and have about 2 to 2 1/2 feet tails. The oldest roo has to be at least 3 feet.

And yes, I meant "hybrid" haha. She was very unique. Either her feathers were pecked at that bad, or she was a hybrid.
I would breed her to see what she produces if I did get the whole flock. But I am probably just going to get 2 hens and 10 roos. Cull them and sell them to make a profit.

OH also I am not sure if this will help.
The coloring of the tail on the ginger splash ones are blue.
Their body feathers have this somewhat silver duck wing affect to it as well.
AHH, so hard to explain. I should have whipped out my phone! Dou, you're so stupiddddd!!!!

Okay, some of them "KIND OF" look like Amanda's Ginger Splash Roo but with a blue tail

quality is the morte important thing when figuring over all price, but yes the unseen colors are by far more expensive than the run of the mill normal duckwings, every one has those. It's a supply and demand thing, but of course a rare color in a junk body type kinda cancel each other out.

Tail should be solid black on gingers, so if it's a blue version a solid blue tail would be correct for that pattern. The males will mostly be silver, red or gold over the rest of the main portions of the body.

Here's a blue silver ginger I hatched last year (when he was just a fall cockerel), for pattern comparisons for what you saw, if it helps.




For a ginger pattern on a male they will be mostly clean bodied like that with the solid tail

here's a ginger red ohiki

Hmmm nope
Does not look like either one of those...
I don't know what to say...

The color is definitely different... unique
And their bodies are nice

However, their combs have been frost bitten off
IF you had a phoenix that had it's comb frost bitten, would you ever dub it?

I have a cream (barred/due to enzymes and pattern gene interation with ginger) blue rooster.. I will see if I can get a picture tomorrow, but if we could see them, that would be the best thing.. TAKE A PIC for us.. Got me curious now.. LOL>

 

[dvang3]

I am very curious myself now!
DANG IT I SHOULD HAVE JUST BOUGHT THE FLOCK

 

[dvang3]

DON'T GET TOO EXCITED
What if it's some ugly color that is worthless?? HAHA
