Guys I need help, have any off you struggled with breeding phoenix, I think my hens tail feathers are getting in the way as none of her eggs are fertile and I keep finding white stains on her saddle feathers, is there anything I can do as I want to show her.

secondly can you post pictures of your phoenix eggs as im trying to work out if my bantam phoenix lays small long white eggs or smaller short white eggs as they are with a polish.

No. Not at all. They are one of the most fertile breeds here. Either a bad male or a young male would ve my guess

My Phoenix went Broody but I don't have a Roo so I got her a few fertile eggs to hatch. She was very dedicated and hatched out 7 healthy chicks!

Yeah for broodies. My co-broodies are going great. I need to get some up dated pics. Chicks are 2 weeks old now.

What have I missed? I been gone for too long

Welcome back!

It's been kinda quiet around here.

Let's see, for me - The 4-H kid I gave a pair to in the fall had the girl go broody in early Feb. She hatched 8/9 and is raising adorable babies.

I have been fighting the broodiness in mine but finally let one girl sit, she was shortly joined by a second one whom I thought I had broke so they co-hatched 6/8 eggs. 4 of those are pure Phoenix, the others are a mix. I need updated pics on them. but here is shortly after.


I don't remember when mine were small but does the slate leg color get darker as they grow? Their legs look, I don't know, green tintish not really slate right now and I know they are pure as I only have one roo.

On a side note, I now have a Houdan sitting a clutch, but don't tell my hubby.

Not the best pic but here is dad one mom and two chicks.

Someone asked earlier about size/color of eggs -
L-R are silkie, bantam cochin, Phoenix, Favorelle, Dorking, Muscovy.

Mine lay a tinted egg. They are not white. The Dorking is the only white egg in the pic.

Awesome! Mine too lay tinted eggs. I get some that are large and most are small eggs.

The color on them starts to show very slate by a month. I've had some take longer to turn slate but not very common.

Thanks. I was thinking their legs were just kind of tinted to start and the color came as they aged.

I am anxiously watching feather development, trying to see some sexing clues.
