Dear Brian,
Thank you very much doing a video on the Chantecler. Being a Canadian, I was delighted you featured this breed. As always, both the content and the visuals of your presentation are excellent. I hope your video sparks interest in the breed among owners of small flocks in colder climates.
Onto something else. Hybrid vigour is a concept I only heard about within the last two years or so, even though it has been known and acted on for quite some time. The reasons for hybrid vigour seem not to be yet known, insofar as I have been able to determine. Do you have information on the reasons for hybrid vigour, either known or theoretical? Then, is it true that the vigour doesn’t continue for the second generation? Is so, do we have any reasons for this, either known or theoretical?
For example, I have friends who have some Bielefelders. They are planning to get a few Chanteclers. If they were to cross these two standard breeds, would the progeny likely to be more vigorous in both egg production and for meat birds? Or, is there no guarantee for hybrid vigour, which happens with some crosses we know, but might not be present in other crosses?
I just put these questions out there in case the topic interests you and you have answers to these questions you would care to share.
Again, thank you for your fine programmes. Always interesting and enjoyable.
Sincerely,
Larry Lewis
Ontario, Canada.

The art of creating new breeds is incredible, how on earth they do it beats me!

So many breeds of chickens! I may never decide which ones I want LOL!

I live in Northern NH and am looking to start my chicken flock....having no experience, I decided to learn as much as I could and the cold winters up here were the first of several issues I worried about.I hear that the Chantecler are wonderful chickens for cold weather, so this us the breed I am considering, I think I found a farm down in Concord NH that breeds them too. Thanks for your video on the Chantecler.

Interesting history on this breed! Really is interesting they aren’t well known, eh?

I have Partridge Chanteclers. I really enjoy them, and while I have had success showing my birds at poultry Shows (I had a champion at the Canadian Nationals this year), they are a little harder to perfect colour and pattern wise than the whites. The Partridge Chantecler males are basically the Black Breasted Red, the females are the partridge colour, with black concentric patterning, commonly called penciling. There is nothing more beautiful that a high quality, well penciled female. They are a challenge to breed to a very high level, but that is what makes it interesting. You have to understand genetics. And yes, if bred properly with good vigour, and good feed, they are very tough, and you will see them out and about on cold winter days!

I have six hens I hatched (5 months) out of a Chantecler rooster and love their attitude. I'm going to partridge Chan. this year on my hectare. What I have now are crossed with small hens, and two of the six are monsters. they also have the pea comb and are very well feathered out for winter.

I'd love to raise these up here in northern BC.

Hi Brian, I'll say they're hard to get. As a Canadian I would love to have some but none of the hatcheries in my corner of Ontario offers them. It's a real shame.
Thanks for the highlight.

I picked up western rustic chickens last year and I'm pretty happy with them, they are a large chicken with a gloden skin, I'm in Saskatchewan Canada and they wintered really well but my coop is Insulated and heated because we get down to minus forty celsius here during the winter. I'd like to get some Chantecler but haven't been able to find any yet. I'll keep looking.
If you can't find the Chantecler I'd recommend the western rustic. I'm getting ready to load my incubator and see how that turns out.

Sounds like a really good breed to have in a backyard flock. Thanks HFGs!

Great videos. Love the channel. Interesting breed. Love to see you do one on the Buckeye breed.

Would warm climate be bad for them? I'm a desert dweller, what breeds are best for desert climate? Thank you again! Now for the quiz!!

Wonder how far south that chicken would do well? Mid Missouri here

How do these hens lay in the winter?

Hi. I got my first flock of Chanties this spring and I'm over the moon with them. Even as day old chicks the heat mat I had them on was too warm for them and they thrived in the house with no added heat right from day three. I'm sure they would have hated a heat lamp. Now that the cooler weather is here they are thriving. Super smart birds, they learn voice commands quickly like "bedtime" and "snacks!" I rarely have issues herding them in at night and I feel they are probably the smartest breed I have ever owned, and I've had many breeds. I have found the partridge ones to be a bit coy, and the buff more playful, all that with the bonus, they are beautiful!!
