Valley Hatchery proudly presents the Black Breasted Red Phoenix Chickens, an exquisite breed that combines the legacy of post-World War II Germany and the ancient Onagadori breed of Japan. These chickens, renowned for their exhibition qualities, boast strikingly long feathers and an energetic demeanor. The roosters display a captivating red and black plumage, while the hens are adorned in various shades of gold and reddish-brown with black tails, offering a stunning visual contrast.
Known for laying small, cream or tinted eggs, these chickens produce an average of 40-100 eggs annually. The roosters have a robust build, typically weighing around 5.5lbs, and the hens are slightly lighter at approximately 4lbs. Recognized by the American Poultry Association in 2017, the Black Breasted Red Phoenix is not just a feast for the eyes but also exhibits a tendency to go broody. Choosing these chickens from Valley Hatchery means adding a dash of historic elegance and vibrant color to your flock.
In addition to the standard size, Valley Hatchery also offers the delightful Black Breasted Red Phoenix Chickens in a charming bantam size. These smaller versions retain all the captivating features of their larger counterparts, including the vibrant red and black plumage in roosters and the gold and reddish-brown tones in hens. Ideal for those with limited space or a preference for smaller breeds, these bantam Black Breasted Red Phoenix Chickens offer the same elegance and historical charm in a more compact package. Whether for exhibition or as a unique addition to your collection, these bantam beauties are sure to impress.
