Description
Hoover's Hatchery Buff Chanteclers are a beautiful golden buff color, similar to the coloring of the Buff Orpington. The Chanteclers are of a cold-hardy, dual purpose breed that was originally developed in Canada in the early 1900s. The first Chanteclers were created by crossing Wyandottes, Cochins, Cornish, and Leghorns. The goal was to create a hardy, dual purpose bird that could withstand the harsh Canadian winters, lay a good number of eggs, and produce a good carcass for the table. Chanteclers feature small cushion combs along with small, practically non-existent, wattles and dense feathering, and all of these traits make the chickens very well suited to cold northern climates.
