chicken Phoenix - Bantam

When I ordered my first round of leghorns Murray McMurray hatchery sent us a mystery chick and this is what he happened to be, he is simply stunning and I love him to death. He outshines all my other roosters when it comes to crowing but as far as dominance he's dead last. He's very flighty around people and other roosters but hes stunning to watch from afar.

I have had my Bantam Phoenix for several years now. We get -40 degree weather regularly and they have always done very well. They are always a favorite of visitors. I love all the wild colors too.

When we went to get some more hens we saw the black and white roo sitting in the corner all alone in a stall. The lady said he didn't like other roosters. So we got him $13 no big deal right. When I told my dad he was a phoniex he said just another chicken. However when my sheep got into an accident and ripped off her horn (long story), a vet came to our farm, and saw him. Apparently his friend had one that was just the same, and was in commercials however that chicken died, and she wanted a new one. Then the rooster (Pretty Boy) fathered a chick. He is happily living on our farm and his favorite spot is between the two chicken stalls. If I get to close to the chick he flys down, and watches me.
