Phoenix Bantam Chicken Breed Information and Chicken Facts

Phoenix Bantam Chicken Breed Information:

The Silver Duckwing Phoenix is a long tailed breed of fowl bred in Japan nearly 1000 years ago.  There are past records of this breed producing tails on the males that exceed twenty feet.   This breed represents a great breed developed by past Japanese breeders.  Admitted into the American Standard Perfection in 1965.

The Black Breasted Red Phoenix was developed from the Onagador Japanese breed, it is noted for the black breast and red neck, red shoulder, long red saddle hackle feathers and long tails.  They are noted for the tail feathers to stay (blood filled) to continue the growth and genes that prolong molting periods that provides the majestic plumage.

The White Phoenix Bantam Chicken is a long tailed breed of fowl bred in Japan. There are past records of this breed producing tails on the males that exceed twenty feet.   This breed represents a great breed developed by past Japanese breeders.  Admitted into the American Standard Perfection in 1965.

The Golden Duckwing Phoenix was developed from the Onagador Japanese breed, it is noted for the black breast, golden shoulder, long golden saddle hackle feathers and long tails.  They are noted for the tail feathers to stay (blood filled) to continue to growth and genes that prolong molting periods that provides the majestic plumage.  Most Golden Duckwing Phoenix are developed from years of selective breeding from crosses of the silver Duckwing and the Black Breasted Red varieties.

The Phoenix was developed in post World War II Germany.  It was crossed with Onagadori (which is often confused with the Phoenix) and game birds.  The Phoenix was bred to have exceptionally long tails,   but not to the extravagant length of the Onagadori.  The male Phoenix, depending on bloodline, can have tails that reach 4-5 feet.  The hens are very broody and lay small tinted eggs.
