Description
Partridge Chantecler males have brilliant, rich red plumage on the neck and saddle with black tails and breasts, while the females are a rich mahogany brown with each feather having intricate black markings known as penciling. Chantecler Birds Variety Pack are a beautiful golden buff color, like the coloring of the Buff Orpington. The Chantecler is a cold hardy, dual-purpose breed 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. These beautiful birds feature small cushion combs along with small, practically non-existent, wattles, and dense feathering. All these traits make these gentle birds very well suited for cold northern climates. There is no guarantee in the number or colors of each that you will receive.
