Yokohama

Red Shouldered Yokohama's were first developed in Europe from Japanese breeds brought to Europe by French missionaries. The males boast an unusual plumage, including long tail and saddle feather. Females are good layers of cream colored eggs. The breed tends to be quiet and gentle. 

Dr. Keith Bramwell, Breeder and Hatchery Specialist at the University of Arkanas, worked developing this line over a 15 year period. He said "The plumage pattern and color was a particular challange with this variety." Poultry judges say his birds are some of the best they have seen, although there are very few, if any, exhibited at large shows.

Exhibition Notes: We cannot guarantee, with any breed, that an indivual bird will be of show quality. We suggest you order multiple so that you may pick the best for show. Special care will need to be taken with any long feathered breeds so that the feathers do not become broken.
