Chanteclers

[countrygurl]

Does any one know were I can get a productive strain of Chanteclers?

I second the motion!

That may be difficult depending on what you consider to be productive.

The original Chantecler was bred to lay up to 210 eggs per year. I doubt that you will find a strain that is reliable at that level, but I have never asked. There may be some around. You're going to have to be a little persistent. I will be breeding for production over the next few years as that is what I am interested in, but I don't have any for that yet. Most people that would have production flocks are most likely in Quebec. That is where I would look.

Regrettably that is one place where I do not have many contacts. It is hard to get into those circles sometimes.

How many do yours lay a year?

 

[Klorinth]

I am still waiting for mine to arrive.
This will be my first hatch of Chantecler. That is why I say that I will be working towards production.
Plans are in place. I just need the eggs to arrive.

Where are you located? Are you wanting hatching eggs, chicks, or full grown birds? I'll soon have eggs from my Chants, after I check fertility.

I live in Virginia, I am interested in getting some chicks this fall. What colors do you have?

 

[Carole AM]

I have Partridge Chanteclers. They are in my avatar.

 

[countrygurl]

Very pretty! How many eggs do you get a year?

 

[Carole AM]

I never kept track! They are NOT as productive as I'd like them to be, but I am happy with what I get. They lay a medium/large size brown egg.
