Valley Hatchery brings the elegance of history to your backyard with our White Phoenix Chicks. Originating from the noble lines of ancient Japanese Onagadori and post-World War II German breeds, these chickens are a blend of grace and history. Our Phoenix chickens, while sharing ancestry with the Onagadori, showcase their unique charm through less extravagant but still impressive long tail feathers, which in males can reach lengths of 4-5 feet, a testament to their distinguished bloodline.
The White Standard Phoenix is visually striking, with its pristine white shoulder hackles and extended saddle hackles, creating a captivating display. These birds are not just about looks; they are also practical. Despite their regal appearance, they are hardy and active, perfect for adding a touch of splendor to exhibitions. The hens, weighing around 4lbs, are known for their broody nature, diligently laying 40-100 small, tinted eggs annually. The roosters, slightly heavier at 5.5lbs, complement their counterparts with their own stately presence.
Valley Hatchery’s White Phoenix Chickens, while not recognized by the American Poultry Association, stand out with their extended molting periods, a genetic trait that contributes to the maintenance of their stunning plumage. Ideal for those seeking both beauty and functionality in their flock, these chickens offer a blend of ornamental allure and reliable egg production. Embrace the blend of history, beauty, and practicality with the White Standard Phoenix Chicks from Valley Hatchery.
