Chantecler Thread!

[Northie]

Thanks for this I just brought mine home and noticed one looks plugged up, they still seem very vibrant racing around and eating/drinking
like normal. Going to catch that one and see if i can get him/her cleaned up before bed.

Cleaned the little one up last night and today I can't tell which one it was.... Hopefully that's the end of this poopy butt storey lol.

No. There is variation in the coloring of chick down, but it is not sex linked to the best of my knowledge.

It would be nice to see a post of chick pictures of the three colors available.

I will ask my question again. Do chanteclers come in Red? Thanks

 

[Northie]

I think the reds are a cross between buff and partridge, I think(?)

The partridge and whites are the only recognized colors, but there are people trying to get the buffs recognized and there are other people working on project colors like reds and more. ... I'm as new as my chicks when it comes to actually keep in chickens but I like to read .

Hatcheries are the only ones I have seen advertising Red Chanteclers. That being said, the supposed "Red" Chanteclers are more of an ugly buff. I'm not sure if I would call them red at all, as their color isn't really what I would consider red.
