The Golden Duckwing Phoenix is a beautiful and exotic long-tailed ornamental chicken breed whose ancestors graced Japanese imperial gardens. This elegant bird was developed for exhibition and is prized by both expert enthusiasts and proud owners of pet chickens. The breed is a popular choice wherever you find chickens for sale. Adding a few-day-old baby Golden Duckwing Phoenix chicks to your backyard coop assures that your flock will grow into an eye-catching and enviable one.

The enchanting Phoenix shares genetics and history with the Japanese Onagadori long-tailed chicken. The Golden Duckwing is a recognized color variation in the Phoenix breed. The Phoenix was originally developed from the Onagadori by Hugo du Roi, the first president of the German Poultry Association. The name "Phoenix" was reportedly given to the breed because of its relative hardiness after out-crossing compared to the delicate constitution of its imported ancestors. The breed has been known in America since the 1920s.

While the tail feathers of the Phoenix do not reach the lengths represented the famed drawings of the ancient Onagadori, Phoenix tails reach two to five feet and the saddle reaches 12 to 18 inches. They can reach this impressive length if properly nurtured and maintained. Special care is required for birds to reach their full aesthetic potential.
