The Chantecler

The Chantecler chicken is Canada’s only heritage breed of chicken and is currently listed as endangered. We have been working to conserve and preserve this incredible breed since 2012. The basis for our flock is composed of different genetics sourced from across Canada and by using a method of spiral breeding we have been able to ensure our flock has incredibly strong and diverse genetics, while also maintaining breed standards.

Our flock has the genetics of the original Quebec blood-line selected for large size, meaty conformation and docile roosters that are perfect for a family farm or successful show stock. Our chickens are also suitable for CSA grow-out and homesteading.

Additionally for the past 5 years we have been working with the Partridge Verity using the same standards for our breeding program, and quality of genetics. We are proud Members of Heritage Livestock Canada and l’Association Québécoise de la Volaille Chantecler (AQVC) Our birds have won awards in 2017, 2018 & 2019 at the Royal Winter Fair, including best of breed and reserve best of breed in 2019 https://bit.ly/37XSzk8 . We are looking forward to showing our birds again, as COVID19 and the Avian Influenza has prevented this since 2020.
