i have zero interest in reading the books. i picked chantecler as my breed because they are winter hardy, they are winter hardy because of many traits but colour is not one and to me it is impractical to care about it in any way. i will breed the traits that help my birds survive. you...

i've no background in any of this, I am canadian and just starting with partridge chantecler. however a few things strike me in your large post as wrong. #1 mike clearly practices breeding and therefore has plenty of worthwhile opinions. #2 books are sometimes wrong #3 the people who wrote the...

let me know how many survive? im curious how many should survive % wise

you'd have to cull the genes out and basically start anew with outbreeding the ones you dont need. it would definitely not be that easy.

thanks much. if i have 34 day olds. and im raising them. what should my success rate me? how many should make it to 6 months? whats pasting up? their poopers being clogged up? i used to use a hot water cloth and gently clean them.

thanks much. and..chick starter? the one i saw at TSC was called "rolling acres" and the label was a green bag for chick starter. this any good? should i add something else? and you start them on quick 1 minute oats? how much do you give? all they can eat? and.. how long of a transition...

34 day olds arriving end of may, anyone have advice? how large should i start the brooder? how large should i increase it and how often? what type of feed? is the feed at TSC good enough? should i enhance it? what should i watch for? ive not had chickens in years. and chicks were always...

32 day-olds will be ordered today of Partridge chantecler. to arrive early june i'll introduce a nice looking rooster every couple years before growing a "new crop" of hens and see how i can manage the breed.

would you have this woman from ontario's contact info still?

who has any views on getting whites and partridge both? they will obviously interbreed but you could keep a rooster of each and make sure you keep the flock from only purebread.. anyone? i was debating this. ive found previously that chickens will take habbits from each other, might work to...

could you explain that to me? are they better for this in some way?

so have you decided? im still torn but leaning towards the partridge. i mean logically they can both handle the cold the same as they are both with the same attributes.. however the partridge should be more able to soak up the sun and stay warm.. to my thinking. also the partridge has brown...
