Silver Duckwing Phoenix Chicks

Purely Poultry is delighted to offer the Silver Duckwing Phoenix Chickens, a breed that brings both historical depth and stunning beauty to any flock. With origins rooted in Japan and later refined in post-World War II Germany, these birds carry a sense of heritage and grace that is sure to captivate poultry enthusiasts. Their long, flowing tail feathers and elegant posture make them an unforgettable addition to both backyard coops and poultry exhibitions.

The roosters are truly eye-catching, with silvery white and black plumage that glimmers with an iridescent shine. Their majestic tails, which can reach impressive lengths of 4-5 feet, set them apart, while their sleek appearance gives them a regal quality. Hens are equally lovely, showcasing a mix of soft browns, blacks, and whites, creating a subtle yet beautiful contrast that highlights their graceful form.

Though primarily admired for their ornamental beauty, Silver Duckwing Phoenix hens are also reliable, albeit modest, layers. They produce around 40-100 small, tinted eggs annually, making them a fine balance between form and function. Their nurturing nature also means they can make excellent mothers, adding to their value as part of a diverse flock. Roosters typically weigh about 5.5 pounds, and hens weigh in at around 4 pounds, making them a manageable size for most poultry enthusiasts.

Since their recognition by the American Poultry Association in 2017, Silver Duckwing Phoenix Chickens have gained popularity not just for their historical significance, but also for their unique aesthetic. They belong to the All Other Standard Breed-Oriental Class, a testament to their distinctive lineage and cultural importance. For those who prefer smaller birds, the breed is also available in bantam size, offering all the elegance of the standard Phoenix in a compact form.

Adding a Silver Duckwing Phoenix to your flock is more than just a choice for beauty—it’s an opportunity to celebrate a breed with deep historical roots and a stunning presence.
