so what do hatchery longtails look like

[Alexandra33]

I have raised 4 bantam Black Breasted Red Phoenix from Eagle Nest Poultry, all of which are/were stunning. (although, I'm not at all familiar with the SOP for this breed, and am unable to properly judge their quality) Pictured is my current pair, both of which are 7 months old.

My former cockerels, who ended up human aggressive at 4 and 6 months of age.

I was told by an Onagadori breeder that the birds I bought are not quality birds and I learned a lot of fascinating information about the breed. I just wanted some pretty birds and would never advertise them as anything but longtails.

For those who raise them, I'm curious if males or females are aggressive to other chickens.

My Bantam Black Sumatra and Red-shouldered Yokohamas were not aggressive with me or with other birds.


Hatchery Quality Red-shouldered Yokohmas from Ideal Hatchery fifteen years ago:

Bantam Black Sumatras that were shipped in from a great breeder in Florida. He had large fowl and bantam. I can't remember the name as it's been over fifteen years but I'd love to have some more again. His face was much darker when he wasn't in constant shade.
