I have three White Chanteclers. The oldest one, Cottonball, is the head hen of our flock and is smart and kind. Our other two hens, Aurora and Borialis, are docile and lay many eggs, and are good friends with Cottonball. We used to have one more Chantecler, but she died of many strokes at the same time. She was Aurora and Borialis's half sister. Aurora and Borialis are sisters. Cottonball is very old, she is the last chicken we have left from the first three birds we got. Chanteclers are a great breed, and there is a breeder near my house. If you're looking for a dual purpose bird, or one that makes a good pet, that is good in harsh winters, Chanteclers are the breed for you.
