Meet Henry, the Partridge Chantecler

[FoxandBearFarms]

Just wanted to share our 8 month old partridge Chantecler cockerel. Hopefully later this year we'll have a decent flock of this beautiful, useful, and rare breed.

Henry is a nicely put together bird. Can you post pictures of your pullets/hens?

Unfortunately, all my pullets and other partridge Chanteclers are about 2.5 inches tall

Beautiful. May I ask where he came from? I just recently started looking into this breed. I've seen some hatcheries have various colors. But, I prefer to buy from breeders that focus on quality rather than quantity

They're my favorite breed. Ive never purchased from this breeder but they look great. Worth a look. The breeder I got them from just breeds them for meat, eggs, and doesnt sell chicks anymore unfortunately.

Strangely enough, this guy was at a Rural King in the St Louis area as a chick. Rural King gets their birds from Hoover's Hatchery. I liked his quality enough to order a couple dozen chicks the first of February.
