    Buffs #1 and #2 look very male to me. Buff #3 is female. I am jealous! Sandhill sent me only *1* buff when I asked for up to 10, and that single is tiny tiny tiny and female. So I am still without a buff male.

    I have 9 buff chanteclers. It seems that at any given time one of them is broody. They must take turns at it. So yes, it isn't unusual for them to go broody. from Sue

    I provide some heat in my little barn. One heatlamp for the chickens and one heatlamp for goats. Still, most of winter even with switching out the water every 12 hours (starting with very warm nearly hot water) the water is partially or totally frozen. But I'm not only in Interior Alaska, but...

    Thank you, Does this mean that I should (if possible) use a buff male who has no smut in the tail? I have no buff male but if I were to find one .... Most of the hens have only a little smut or none at all. They are however, quite fluffy, but we just officially reached the end of winter so that...

    How bad is it having some amount of smut in a buff chantecler's tail? Can it be bred out? Is *any* amount a bad thing? What if there is smut in tail of pullet, but it molts out? How can it be gotten rid of? I had thought that the smut was *all* gone once the girls molted that first time, but...

    Well, regardless of what people think or want the Reds to look like, those I identified as Red Chantecler are what *Ideal Poultry* sells as Red Chanteclers. I posted the link to show what *I* received from them. When I specially order Buff Chantecler males, Ideal sent Red Chantecler males. I...

    Welcome, You are going to find that there are differing opinions on what is, or isn't a chantecler. :-) It seems that not everyone agrees with the APA classification. For myself, I try to not have an opinion. What I need a is cold-hardy bird who lays well in the dark cold winter and the rest of...
