Chantecler Thread!
Potentially, I guess...it is a good thing he never sired any birds. :( Good plans to get some chicks. Thankful you are able to do that! Yes, it would be ever so quiet and in our books, a flock is not a FLOCK without a proud (and often), quite LOUD male. The boys are the real eye candy...- CanuckBock

As I wrote to you in July, in the males best to keep "the heir, spare and buddy." Could be any reason for one male not to live. I hope you find another boy and decide to hatch some chicks.

Heel low: Yup...same up here in Central AB...heat (summer??). We've had so much welcomed rains this year...top up the aquifers and lessen the wild fire threats we keep seeming to be held hostage by.

Heel low: Uh, best you keep the heir, spare and buddy. I keep at minimum three males (prefer even number of males to females--male is important to the flock/female is important to the chick). Your three males are best one for breeding, spare in case something happens to the best one, and a...- CanuckBock

Heel low: Here's a better angle on the Duece Coop building & five outside raised runs. Floor is painted grey with porch enamel...if my memory serves me well, the building was built in 2001, so it's been in use for the past 23 years.

Not Chants...the Albertans! What happened if I can summarize...Albertans, taken to Ontario when the Dentist moved there. He returned to Alberta eventually but he left these Albertans behind. They were obviously neglected and became quite inbred. Andrè Auclair rescued a flock of these...- CanuckBock

Walter the white may hide anything and everything under his no pigment plumage. He could well be a "buff" that has white and white enhancer mutations added. Probably the largest spread of possibilities imaginable. Other than if'n you had crossed a self-black x a self white. The "best"...- CanuckBock
