Do you ship to Canada? I like the markings and conformation you are maintaining in the Partridge's. I am looking to add a bloodline and would be interested in your eggs.

No black on the head or neck. Solid deep red is ideal.

I don't believe there is an accurate count for the White or the Partridge. This is the current info from Rare Breeds Canada: http://www.rarebreedscanada.ca/poultrybreeds.htm

Your welcome. Always happy to keep promoting the Chantecler!

An article from Oct '09 regarding the Chantecler as meat birds in Canada: http://www.canadaeast.com/rss/article/812994

Please post photos as they mature, I'd love to see how they turn out. May I ask where you got them from?

You may be surprised when their final feather pattern is set. One of your trio has a nice solid red head and neck and overall the three of them are looking quite good. Time will tell! Quote:

I attached some photos on page 2 of this thread to show the feather differences in young pullets and cockerels. At 7-8 weeks you should see the feather differences. Your photos look more like pullet feathering at this stage. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=243277&p=2...

syble, they're still too young to tell for certain. My guess would be all pullets, but really it's a guess at this age due to the multiple feather changes the Partridges go through. I've never noticed any behavioural differences between the sexes..at least until the first crow!

RhodeRunner, you have some nice looking pullets there. Evenly patterned with relative solid, dark heads. I can't see the detail of the pencilling but it also seems quite good!

This seller has them listed as Red Chantecler yet the photo is of a Partridge Chantecler hen: http://www.efowl.com/Red_Chantecler_Chickens_p/1148.htm I have now read the listing on Ideal Poultry for the "Red" Chanteclers (found here...

The Chanteclers are quiet except right at the moments just before or after they lay and egg. For several minutes they will do their egg-laying sounds, but otherwise they are quiet birds. One point to note, the two colours of the Chantecler are White and Partridge. I think some reference has...

Tim, your one pullet is very nice looking. Nice tight comb and wattles, deep red head and neck feathers and quite good pencilling. The cockerel is a nice body size, with good red colouring in his head, neck, back feathers. Unfortunately he should have black chest, belly, and leg feathers. It...

Tim, have your Partridge pullets started laying yet? Most Partridge Chanteclers start laying around 24-28 weeks. The combs are good so far. The Partridge Chanteclers do have more of a cushion comb present than the White Chanteclers, so having a small, raised comb is normal. You may see the...

I believe you said you received these eggs from a breeder, so given that, most likely she is a Partridge Chantecler......just a very poor example of one. Part of the challenge in preserving and breeding any breed is carefully selecting the right pairings which continue to develop and maintain...

Tim, I agree with your sexing. Pullet in the first two photos, cockerel in the third, and that last photo is most likely a pullet. Although that last girl really does have poor feathering. As long as you don't plan to breed her, I'm sure she'll be a lovely bird in your flock. All of them...

Quote: Barry, your rooster has good leg colouring and although it's difficult to see it clearly, his comb and wattles look good as well. Ideally he should have black feathering on his chest, sides, and undercarriage though.

Quote: Tell that to my girls! I have nine and I get 7-9 eggs daily, even at -15 C.

Quote: Generally speaking, yes, green feathers in the tail are cockerels.

Quote: It would appear that the one on the farthest right is a pullet. The middle one at the top is most likely a pullet. The last one on the bottom left definitely has poor feathering and is therefore the most difficult to sex. I'm leaning to pullet for that last one. Did you get these...
