Post Phoenix Pics Please

For phoenix I choose on tail length and type of bird so the smaller for bantam and bigger for LF. I choose by color as well sometimes depending on what the breed needs

I dont breed for the long tail. I breed for SoP

By long tail I meant phoenix, so keeping general SoP in mind, if I where to look at bantam pullets for breeding, smaller then is better perhaps a long tail and keep color in mind.

Ok. I'm completely new to the breed. I got a broody phoenix hen last week along with her eggs. First one hatched a few hours ago. She was evidently an egg thief due to all the colors she had under her. She had white, tan, and blue. Is this chick a phoenix? I don't know what color eggs they lay. I don't think they are blue, but I've been informed she may be a mix breed.

Every bird lays a color for life (the darkness of a colored egg can very with cycle but will still be the same color), so you have a bunch of different hens eggs... figure blues to greens not phoenix. Does the chick have "chipmunk" cheeks? If yes probably an EE/Ameraucana especially if the hatched egg was blue/greenish, if it came out of a blue egg could be several other breeds too...

What color legs does the chick have?

I got the following photo off the net:

• 1 -- American Buff Goose Egg
• 2 -- Rouen or Black and White Magpie Duck Egg
• 3 -- Ameraucana Chicken Egg
• 4 -- Silver Phoenix Chicken Egg
• 5 -- Sicilian Buttercup Chicken Egg
• 6 -- Black Langshan Chicken Egg
• 7 -- Silver Penciled Cochin Bantam Chicken Egg

Here is a close up of the Phoenix Egg... the tans might be hers...

Here is the site: http://www.pinkzebra.com/eggs.shtml

It gives close ups and weight info.

this one came from a tan egg. I know the blue ones aren't phoenix. What I don't know is who she stole her eggs from. I got her from a woman in the middle of her brood...eggs and all. She has kept at the brood throughout changing hands. I was just trying identify her actually eggs. Stupid chicken set almost all my hens to brood...lol.

so the white and the blues are probably not hers. Great site! Thank you

Yeah I figure those two colors probably not, but do you know what color egg the 1 chick hatched from? Also what color phoenix is the mother suppose to be? Check the chicks leg color and the hens leg color, also the comb on the chick might give a clue (might be too soon for comb info though). You might try marking each remaining egg with a number and then noting down egg color and number, that way as they hatch you might be able to track egg color to chick easier... you got the grab bag uprise

it will be fun trying to figure the chicks out.

lol. Yup. This one came from a tan. Raccoon crushed the white one a couple days ago I have no clue what kind she (or the roo) is. The lady I got them from didn't know and the roo looks like maybe a project bird. He has no definite color this way or that. Trying to figure him out too.

Here she is

Here he is. My silkie roo broke his tail feathers
