Description
Cackle Hatchery® has been breeding a large selection of poultry types for decades, including the Silver Duckwing Phoenix. While some aspects of this breed can be traced back thousands of years ago to the Onagadori breed in Japan, it was actually developed in post-World War II Germany. This specific variety features silver shoulder hackles as well as very long tails, and they can lay small eggs.

I bought 6 of these and 6 Golden Duckwing Standard Phoenix chicks back in March. Upon arrival, they were all super healthy and happy. Although they were shy at first, they eventually got use to me and would come up for treats. Now they are adults and they still love to be loved on and petted! The Roos can have a sassy attitude but I have never been pecked or chased by one of mine. I would definitely recommend this breed for people who like exotic looking birds. However, I do believe that in order for them to be happy and fully flourish they need to be in a free range environment so that they have plenty of space to grow and forage.

I absolutely love watching these guys. They have a gorgeous look to them but they also have a little attitude to back it. I suggest keeping 1 rooster lol. Other than that I love these chicks.

Love these birds
Absolutely love these birds. The hens are very tenacious and don’t get pushed around a lot for their size. With people they’re very sweet. My rooster is 10 months old now and his tail is beautiful and flowy. He is a typical roostering to be a little jerk sometimes but not very often.

Clever bird
Received a Silver Duckwing Phoenix pullet as part of the Rare Breed Special back in May 2019.
She has a sweet disposition, and is very curious. We noticed early on that she can fly a good distance when she wants to, and so I trained her to fly to my arm when called. Gets along well with the other pullets and hens she lives with.
We are strongly considering ordering several more of these next year!

Beautiful rooster with sass!
I love my Silver Duckwing Phoenix rooster. He’s adorable, spritely, quick on his feet, has a good eye for predators, takes care of his girls and looks gorgeous. I highly recommend these guys for a lightweight, beautiful rooster that isn’t going to damage your hens – at least in my case he hasn’t, as all my hens are fat, fluffy layer types. He’s got an eye for the biggest, fluffiest gals! Too funny.

Just wanted to say thanks so much for the courtesy calls from your company on my chicken issue. I am not in the least upset with anyone other than myself. We will be re-ordering and looking forward to more beautiful baby chicks from you. Again thanks and have never conducted business over the net with anyone more cordial as you guys have been.
