Do Pheonixs need any special diet?

 

[Boggy Bottom Bantams]

no.

Non molters do, but not true phoenix, only thing special about them is the tail care if you want them to be full and unbroken.

Non molters need a diet free of grains other than brown rice. From what I have read on them, they cant process gluten which is in all forms of grain we have. Over a period of a few years it builds up to a toxic level in their systems and will kill them. They also do well on fish proteins, tons of greens especially lettuce. It has a chemical in it that is great for sustained feather growth.

But again, no for run of the mill normal phoenix, they can eat anything.

I know it's random,but I have some updated pics of the baby phoenixes and their 2 misfit friends.

Moon or Finn..I'm not sure on this one..

Here's Nightstar (right) LSP the misfit EE (left)
I think he's a golden?

His saddle feathers are all gold too..

Here's little Teacup,who was so mad at me for not bringing food..

Hey,it's Toenail!! (

They weren't so mad when they saw I had broccoli.

I found these when I was looking through old pics...

I just found this thread so I thought I'd post.

I have a flock of white phoenix that free range, and basically live wild on my property.
Here is a few photos of a bunch of juveniles....

Oh nice! What a nice breed to having free ranging on your yard!

Oh, And Boggy, thanks for answering, I wasn't sure i have been doing a lot of reading up on Lontails and I wasn't sure if that Gluten thing was the same for Phoenix's too

 

[Boggy Bottom Bantams]

no problem, and yep, it's just for the non molters, not the normals

peachick, those are nice too

Okay so I come from dogs and dog showing and their breed standards are available for anyone to be read online. Is the Phoenix standard available somewhere? Or do I just need to suck it up and invest in the SOP book? I assume the bantam standard is the same except maybe for recognized colors?

This is from Standard Varieties of Chickens by George Ellsworth Howard its a free book that is available online. I thought it was interesting so thought I would share:
