Related to their breed, I'd think. Phoenixes have white saddle feathers. I'm sure there are others, or these could be mixes. They sure are pretty!Well I've had a few short visits from them. I wonder if the golden one's feathers just got darker... It's still the same 7.
I saw them fly! It was crazy! The roosters usually come over first.. then the girls follow.. the 2 smallest golden ones stayed in the neighbors yard this time.
I threw some snacks over the rail and the 2 started running and then flapping and then woosh! they flew across the driveway.. I've never seen anything like that!
I've noticed the roosters have alot of white feathers right where the tail feathers come out. Why is that? In looking around the site at other roosters, I don't see that..
