Silver Phoenix or Silver Leghorn? (pic heavy)

[BoiseBubba]

They're all Phoenix, Phoenix are known to have both yellow and slate legs. NOT LEGHORNS! Phoenix have tails that are even or close to even with their bodies, and Leghorns hold their tails high, making them Silver DUCKWING PHOENIX,
not leghorn. Why the duckwing part? Because of the copper and gold coloring. Silvers are just black and silver. If you don't believe me, ask a breeder of both breeds or look in the standard of perfection.THEY ARE PHOENIX!

Also, the Leghorns have larger combs
Notice the comb size and tail carriage

Phoenix

Leghorn

Quote:
I agree, though silver and silver duckwing is the same thing. The duckwing is not to describe copper/gold coloring but is to describe the black feathers that separates the color in the wing bay and wing bar (shoulder).

Like seen here-

Then you have crowwing, where the wing bay would be black/white etc and only the wingbar would show coloring..

.

ETA(again): And since the cock does have golden coloring, he is probably part golden or is a golden.. If they all aren't. Never know with a hatchery..
