I have six Partridge Chanteclers, three roos and three hens,. They were fillers for a box of giants I had shipped from a breeder but I am so glad to have them, but I am going to have to make a choice of the roos plus I would like to show a pair in October. Does anyone here show their chanty's? Out of my hens, the necks feathers range from orangey to a rust, which one is more preferred at judging? As for the roos, do I take the biggest or the smallest? Any advice about showing these beauties would be great. I have never shown a chicken before but getting these birds from a breeder makes me feel like I need to get out there and show them! Thanks for the advice.
Do you have any photos of your birds? When it comes to advising what birds you should take, photos would probably help us the most. It is rare to get a good bird (let alone showable) out of a batch of six, but it would be nice to see more Chanteclers at shows.
