raising heritage breeds in nova scotia

[Moby Dave]

Hello I have just recently moved back to Nova Scotia from Manitoba and don't have any chickens yet. But thought I would let you know that there is a place in Londonderry that sells chantecler chickens. It's called ActiveLife Farm http://www.activelifefarm.ca/

Hi! I'm a new memeber, but been reading posts for ages. I have barred rock heritage chickens, chicks and eggs in th incubator. And I am wanting to get some Chantecler chicks this spring to raise for meat. I am new to incubating and have a home made incubator so have some questions about that. I just started feeding fermented feed, and that seems to be going well. I have had/raised chickens off and on my whole life with my parents but this is the first time completely independent.

Welcome. You might find if you get some chenteclers for meat you may want to keep a few for eggs, too. I think they're considered a dual purpose breed and often keep laying through the winter when other breeds take a break.

unfortunately Active life farm has never answered any of my messages or phone calls I've tried each year in the spring for 3 years. I don't actually know anyone who has chanteclers but you can try the listings here: http://www.kijiji.ca/b-nova-scotia/chantecler/k0l9002?ll=44.377005,-64.318835
