Its a mix from Japan. Toni-Marie imported them, and has spent the past 9 years perfecting them cause when she got them they were genetically weak and inbred. Well, she has worked on new colors, and gotten them stronger by breedig them with Cochins since they have the same shape. Generally they want short legs, but you need medium and long legs to mix in so that you dont geta bird with ust feet, or something llike that, LOL. Has to do with genetics, and theres not much of a standard but heres the Japan oneautumnprairie said:not in real life I think I saw a picture of them the other day what are they exactlyCochinBrahmaLover=) said:autumnprairie said:![]()

Have you ever seen a ohiki?![]()
Japanese Ohiki Standard:

Earlobe: White
Eye Color: Red-Brown
Leg Color: Green
Tail Angle: 30
Weight: Male around 2 lbs., Female around 1 1/2 lbs.
Colors: Black Breasted Red, Silver Duckwing and White
They are related onagadori, but you can make a mix looking similar by mixing Pheonix and Cochins, but cull ALL WITH FEATHERED FEET.
This is Chucks site-http://www.chucksohiki.webs.com/ He and a few others help out Toni-marie with the ohikis they got from her, and he doesnt have much pictures bt so you can see some more. Im getting pea combed ones for Toni-Marie to see how hardy they are in the winter
