Maxx, It may have been an Onagadori that had a tail that long, but not a Phoenix.
Clint,
Yes, I agree thats a description of an Onagadori but we have none pure blood like that in the U.S. Its just the mis-leading "facts" that hatcheries put out to boost their sales. LOL...that is why there are us...you me and a few others who know more to help differentiate : )
Good call!!!

Yep that's true but let's not get another Onagadori argument going like the one from the other night. LOL But yeah, hatcheries don't know what they have and I have also seen the where hatcheries say phoenix can get 25ft long tails, That would would be a true Japanese Onagadori, and even then they would baicly have to be kept in a prison with VERY HIGH maintainance to get the tails that long.
Another thing about hatcheries that ticks me off is that they sell their Easter Eggers as Ameraucanas or Araucanas, I don't even raise those either of those two breeds but I think it is a major discredit to the people who do raise true Ameraucans and Araucanas and try to breed the true recognized colors to SOP and then hatcheries just falsely advertise theirs as Ameraucanas/Araucanas and I believe they are to blame for all the confusion that is associated with the differences between the breeds, I think we should get a big group to swarm the hatcheries with phone calls and emails about the Phoenix and Easter Eggers and maybe they will start advertiseing correctly.
