The Silver Duckwing Phoenix Chickens from Valley Hatchery are an exquisite choice for enthusiasts seeking a bird with a blend of historical significance and stunning beauty. Originally from Japan, these chickens have a storied history, further developed in Germany after World War II. They are a remarkable sight in exhibitions, thanks to their active demeanor and strikingly long feathers. The males of this breed boast an elegant silvery white and black color with an iridescent sheen, while the females display a rich tapestry of brown, black, and white shades. A distinctive feature of the Silver Duckwing Phoenix is their remarkably long tails, with roosters boasting tail feathers that can stretch up to 4-5 feet. They are moderate layers, producing small, tinted eggs, averaging about 40-100 per year. When it comes to size, roosters typically weigh around 5.5lbs, and hens are slightly lighter at approximately 4lbs. Recognized by the American Poultry Association (APA) in 2017, these chickens are a part of the All Other Standard Breed-Oriental Class. They not only captivate with their appearance but are also known for their brooding tendencies. Valley Hatchery takes pride in offering these chickens in both their standard and miniature forms, the latter known as Phoenix bantams.
