Description

The team at Cackle Hatchery® is proud to introduce the Red Shoulder Yokohoma. If you aren’t familiar with this rare breed chicken, it was originally developed in Japan and we have been the main breeder in the USA since 1977. As the name implies, this specific variety is notable for the red feathering in the shoulder area, mixed in with the traditional white feathers. The birds have an upright carriage and pheasant-like body and the roosters are noted for their extremely long saddle feathers and tail feathers which is the primary emphasis for exhibitors of this chicken breed. Under the right conditions the tail can grow up to 2-3 feet every year. The Red Shouldered Yokohama was admitted into the American Standard of Perfection in 1981 and this variety will also compete very well at any poultry show. For more details about this chicken breed, contact us today!

  1. Yokomama

    Delightful Birds!

    Chicks came on time and were housed jointly with some Rhode Island Reds; came up with a solid strategy to improve early survival using natural products that matched survival rates with Amprolium – treated starter (100% survival). The Yokos were surprisingly robust for small fancy birds, and had no trouble living with the RIRs in a normal coop scenario where they all shared food/water and space. They were also very docile and didn’t mind being handled in the least. Their ultimate demise was cold intolerance; lost all but one the first night it got close to freezing. The one that survived likes to sleep underneath a RIR and is still around today probably because of that strategy.
    A beautiful breed!!

    Stunning addition to my flock!

    I have 2 Yokohama hens and 1 rooster. Such a beautiful addition to my flock. This breed gets along well with all the others. Stunning!

    Great

    Got the chicks on time and had more females then I did Males. I am very happy and pleased. The roosters are getting long tail feathers now about 2.5 feet long. They are very pretty. Thanks

    I received my chicks (Yokohomas and Wheaten O.E.G STD) about two months ago. All are doing GREAT! THanks

    Thanks!

    Not to worry, our chicks came in the noontime delivery. They seem to all be in good shape. The Cochin substitution for one Yokohoma was fine. Yokohomas are beautiful birds. We may find that we will want a few more later. I really appreciate your commitment to perpetuating rare breeds. I believe the narrowing of our livestock gene pool puts agriculture at risk. My daughter is looking forward to a blue ribbon at the County Fair. She’s ready to put in the work.
