I have White Chanteclers. I started off just wanting to help preserve the breed. Now it's more that I like them.
They lay brown eggs every other day or so. Calm, almost humorous behavior. I find you need to hold the roosters fairly often or they become aggressive.
Fairly thick bird bred for our...
We've got a small flock of White Chanteclers, in Richmond.
One rooster. 3 Hens (4th just got taken by coyotes)
We've also got these..
4 days old.
4 possibly 7, in the incubator right now.
Well, only 4 out of 8 eggs were fertile.
All 4 hatched. One hatched under developed. Weird.
3 looking good.
Remaining hen is laying. 4 more in incubator. All are fertile.
Fingers crossed.
Am trading current 3 for 3 from another flock of White Chanteclers I've found somewhat local.
2hr drive.

Consistent layers.about 2eggs/3days. All of mine slow way down...
Hi all.
Had two ( white Chanteclers) hatch last night.
I currently have a 2 week old (female Chantecler) in the brooder.
Do you think there will be issues if I add the new ones?
Thanks
