    Chantecler Thread!

    Quote: I don't have any basis to compare to say partridge or white Chanteclers, or Orpingtons but ours have always seem interested in the idea. The one issue is that they all seem to want to brood at the same time, in the same nest even though there is plenty of room. I be that if given the...

    Chantecler Thread!

    Quote: From what I know of these birds, and taking into consideration he is only a cockerel: he looks great. I'm sure he will fill out just fine. On another note: I'm jealous

    Quote: Thanks redman34, that description helps. Also thanks for the reason why pinched in the back is a fault. It always helps me to know the functional reason behind the standards. Just my two cents, but "pinched" is generally used to define a tail that is best described visually as looking...

    Quote: Oh yes, the color is definitely one of the first focuses on our improvement breedings, alongside of course working on the fluff. His tail is to high, which is also hopefully going to be solved with the breedings, the females we have definitely have lower tail carriage and much longer...

    Chantecler Thread!

    Our Buff Chantecler, 44 week old cockerel, won Best of Variety and Breed here at the 2011 Northwest National Poultry Show and APA Semi-Annual Meet. We even went up against some Partridges from Canada and placed above them - so far, still time to contest the placing if they want. Either way, I...

    Quote: Any idea what the quality of their Chanteclers are in general?? I've heard that Ideal has some decent birds to start with, but that related more to cochins.

    Chantecler Thread!

    Quote: Now I don't mean to pester you with silly requests, but would you say my guesses as to the sexes of my chickens in accurate on the post I made not to long ago? They're 4 months this week and am just wondering when it will be that I can look at them and just go "ah, you're a girl and...

    Quote: I currently have 7 buff chicks from Sand Hill in a brooder. I ordered 5, the sent 7...2 of which have single combs. So those 2, if they're hens, will go into my layer flock. They're just too good at winter laying for me to sell them, plus, they're the only chicken on the farm that my...

    Chantecler Thread!

    In all, have you all found that Sandhill has good stock? I have heard VERY mixed opinions on their birds, especially with that one bird on this thread that was "Chantecler" but looks VERY Orloff. Has anyone heard anything on the stock of Chanteclers, namely Buff, from Ideal? I have been...

    Chantecler Thread!

    FINALLY got around to getting some good pictures of the buffs!! For y'alls benefit I edited most of the images to allow better inspection of the hackles (that's the neck right?). I am hoping someone can come in with a good eye as to the sex of these birds. I have my own speculations which I...

    Chantecler Thread!

    Quote: See that the problem, lol. I don't see much saddle or hackle action happening. I'm hoping we have males at this point because by comparison we do have some (HORRIBLE) male partridge Chanteclers. Looking back on it, I think the boyfriend and I got entirely male partridges. Not...

    Chantecler Thread!

    I'm new to the breed and was just wondering at what point (before they crow or start to lay) can you legitimately sex a Chantecler? I currently have 8 buffs and while some have redder combs/wattles, they don't appear nearly as red in comparison to others and their size doesn't seem to be too...

    Chantecler Thread!

    Quick question, but what of chanteclers that are not of typical markings as chicks?? MY boyfriend and I have 14, which were ordered from CM Game Bird Farm and Hatchery and upon arrival we noticed that some were not just buffs/reds/partridges. One has a faint chipmunk pattern, on what looks to...
