yep that's very true, molt to full feather, it'll easily pull it down that much.

Here are my Phoenix cockerel and pullet. They're 5 months old. I hope they turn out showable- they came from a hatchery, so I don't know. Same hatchery sent me 2 Polish that were a train wreck! Anyway, my pullet have the best personality. I love her the best of all of my chickens. The male- he's been held since he was a few days old, and STILL gives me grief if I try to catch him or hold him. When I'm sitting out in the pen watching the chickens, he comes up right beside me, but squawks when I touch him. Maybe he'll come around! Love the breed!

The pullet is 4 months in her pics.

Here are some pics taken today. Showing the front of the pullet- is the whole chest supposed to be brown, instead of part of it? And, is her comb to small and pale? I have higher hope for the pullet turning out nicely. The cockerel is a hodgepodge of colors and a high tail. I've Googled some his age- and found alot with a tail like that. Not too experienced with chickens

I meant "too" small and pale. Not "to". Pam

Could someone give me some input on sexing these 3 Black Breasted Red Phoenix?
I'd sure appreciate it. They're 5 wks old. I thought I had 2 boys and a girl but got to looking at their chest feather colors and 2 have tan colored breast feathers and 1 has black coming in. I know my Silver Phoenix both looked like girls and it was months before the male showed his black chest. Not sure if BBR are the same or not. 1 has an obvious red comb already so I'm pretty sure he's a boy. Of the other 2 one has a small comb and one a pretty non-exsistant comb.
LOVE these babies! Awesome curious personalities.

That's a quick and easy one, pullet WILL NOT have black breast, those will be your cockerels
