Cackle Hatchery Silver Duckwing Yokohama Chicken - Not Sexed
Description
If you’ve been searching for a visually appealing chicken for your property, we have the perfect option. At Cackle Hatchery we have been the main breeder of the Silver Duckwing Yokohama in the USA for decades, and we know you won’t be disappointed with the quality of our birds. Originating in Japan, this very rare breed of chicken has an upright carriage and pheasant-like body and the roosters are noted for their extremely long saddle feathers and tail feathers (which under the right conditions the tail can grow up to 2-3 feet every year). This specific variety features silver and black feathers, as well as the traditional plumage found among all types of Yokohama. The Silver Duckwing Yokohama is not yet admitted into the American Standard of Perfection.
