Phoenix
Bird
Phoenix is one of many breeds of chicken that resulted from European selective breeding of onagadori, a long-tail fowl bred in Japan for a thousand years. They molt every other year, unlike most chicken breeds that molt every year. The breed is famous for its wide, rigid sickle feathers two to five long, with their saddle feather growing from 12 to 18 inches.
