Partridge Chantecler or Ameraucana?

[Canadian Guy]

Hi I am new here from southern Ontario!
I am building a A frame chicken tractor with built in coop. Looking to buy Partridge Chanteclers and/or Ameraucana’s. Pro’s and con’s? Gets into the low 30’s C in the summer but as low as -20 C in the winter

Why not a couple of each? Both are great cold-hardy breeds! In a year or two if you favor one breed, you could order more of that one. Everyone has different preferences, so might as well see which one you prefer! Good luck & welcome!

Welcome to BYC!

I don't own either breed, so no recommendations from personal experience here. If it were me, I would also buy a few of each. Chanteclers lay brown eggs and AMs lay blue. Both are very hardy birds, who won't get frostbite as easily, due to their small combs.

Welcome to BYC! Either breed should do very well in a cold weather climate.

WELCOME! Personally, americaunas are AMAZING! I have a few and they’re great but the other breed sounds great too. I’d say both and good luck on your build
