Silver Duckwing Yokohama Chicks

Get ready to be dazzled by Valley Hatchery’s Silver Duckwing Yokohama Chickens, a spectacular breed straight out of a Japanese fairy tale! These ornamental birds are the epitome of poultry elegance, flaunting an aristocratic upright stance and a body that’s all pheasant-like grace. But wait, there’s more! The roosters are the real show-stoppers here, sporting fantastically long saddle and tail feathers – we’re talking a whopping 2-3 feet per year in growth!

Now, let’s talk colors. The Silver Duckwing variety is a feast for the eyes, mixing a shimmering silver with rich black feathers, all while keeping the classic Yokohama charm. They’re like living, breathing, walking pieces of art – perfect for turning heads at any exhibition.

But hey, they’re not just a pretty face. These chickens are active, laying around 80 small, tinted eggs a year. The boys tip the scales at about 4.5lbs, and the girls at 3.5lbs. Not in the American Poultry Association’s (APA) spotlight yet, these beauties are like the hidden gems of the chicken world. They sometimes get the broody blues, but overall, they’re as hardy as they come – just remember to pump up their diet with extra protein for that fabulous feather growth.

In short, adding the Silver Duckwing Yokohama Chickens from Valley Hatchery to your flock is like bringing a slice of ornamental heaven home. They’re not just chickens; they’re a statement of style and elegance!
