Red Shoulder Yokohama

The Red Shoulder Yokohama is most recognized due to their long, flowing tails.  Held at nearly a perfect horizontal angle, the Yokohama’s tail is quite a sight to behold. Their combs are fairly small, almost walnut-shaped, and is set forward on the head.  They have a red coloration on their shoulders, yet another recognizable aspect of their appearance.  The Yokohama breed is a breed best used as a show bird due to their ornate appearance and their poor egg-laying abilities.  Red Shoulder Yokohama chicks have red heads and red backs with white stripes.  The chest, abdomen and wings are white. They have a walnut comb and clean, yellow legs and feet.  In order to keep the tail growing, correct lighting and heat is required, otherwise they will molt the same as other breeds.
