white phoenix hen? ---> rooster.

[OstaraGypsy]

is this a phoenix hen?

i once had a silver phoenix hen (Lacey, r.i.p.) and this bird kind of reminds me of her, about the same size, except all white --- this bird is mature i am pretty sure, and seems to have the same shape, but i still have MUCH to learn about chicken ID (lol) she is about 1/2 the size of my other mature birds (australorps, orpingtons, barred rock)

thank you!

Phoenix has slate legs.This can be Leghorn.Rock or Rhode Island White with these yelow legs

so actually i think this bird is a young rooster - i will post more pics of him that are taken 1 month after the above pictures.

pointed, shiny neck feathers that stick out in all directions when he's scared/alert means a rooster, right?

here are some pictures of this same bird about 1 month since first posting.
note brown coloration coming in on the wings, and new neck feathers.
rooster, right?

WOW

NEVER would of thought roo with that first pic!

Color wise it's a very undermarked Red Pyle. It's not a Longtail, by now there would have been ample tail length.

here is a picture of his "dad"

It is a roo and the dad obviously isn't a Phoenix so the little roo couldn't possibly be one, besides, they don't look gamey like phoenix, your's look like mixes, but I do love the color of the dad.
