Chantecler Thread!

[tattdswtp]

I have a sweet Partridge Chantecer hen who after 4 yrs has finally got the chance to be a mamma. She is setting on 13 eggs and the Roo is a French Black Copper Maran. Will I be able to auto sex their chicks?
Help

I don't think so.
I think the mother has to be white & the father red, but I'm not up on the genetics.
Maybe @BantyChooks will be able to answer better.

No, not to my knowledge.

Some photographs of my Buff stock.

My sixteen week old cockerels, with bad photos. Moving targets!
This one I like, he's about six pounds.
These, smaller.
One of the pullets. All from Cackle.
Then, very cute bantam EES!
Opinions? Not SQ, but nice enough???
I'm BAD! The second cockerel is not the one I like, it's actually the fourth bird, with the white leg band. Sorry!

They're quite nice! It's a bit early to tell, Chanteclers take so long to fill out, but I like the long backs I am seeing and the big frames.

I like them too, and all have so far been polite. EXCEPT for the idiot who was too interested in my handling of a flockmate. He's one of the five pounders, and will taste great!
Couldn't resist more photos of the bantam EEs, there's the original rooster from Cackle, and a son and daughter this year.

It's such a small group! After all the losses to my dog this spring, and losses with chicks from Cackle, really too few, and I'm not getting more this year. Moving on with what's here already.

This is my surviving rooster, a son of Solo, my avatar. Not as nice, I don't think.

I think they're both gorgeous examples of the breed.
