Welcome to CBC!
CBC is a perfect club for anyone who owns or adores Chantecler chickens.
I own 1 Chantecler X hen who is white with brown speckles.
I adore the breed!
Please talk about anything chicken related but follow the BYC rules please.
Please post stories and pictures of your Chanteclers!
Thank you,
Chicken19.

Some of my white Chanties are from Cackle, and I have a small flock and love them! I just moved my birds on for this year, but in spring I'll be hatching again. If you want show birds, I don't know, but the Cackle birds are pretty nice. You would need to get a group, and keep the best ones. Mary

Thanks Banty. I've had a really hard time finding them. I went to a show today to talk to a well known breeder (who very rarely ever sells) and she sold me these 3. It's a definite start.

What's your experience with the breed?

Not much, I'm just starting out. I've had about 7 and I'm waiting on more. I wanted to have a couple dozen more chicks this year but I don't think it'll work out for more than a few. Oh well; I'll just have to be patient in building my breeding stock. They're lovely birds and I liked them so much I am selling all my other birds except the Ameraucanas to focus on them.

Well, I am trying to breed for a sustainable breed that has naturally larger breast meat(Not talking as big as Cornish x ) but just bigger than the normal heritage breeds. Am bringing with traditional Cornish and just adding more as I go. Have thought of adding Chanticleer as they were derived with Cornish in them. Shall see what I decided next spring after I hatch my first mixes

I've liked mine for several years, and started with Cackle stock rather than straight from a breeder. I don't show so 'not SQ' isn't a problem for me. Temperment, structure, and size matter more here.

I haven't had that, either with the old Blehm birds, or my newer Cackle flock. I don't have huge numbers though, only 20+ at once. I do see green legs in some Cackle birds, and eliminate them.

Btw Mary,
I'm driving to Kelowna BC to pick up some hatching eggs in a few weeks.
