Description
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.
