How interesting! I've always admired the Chanteclers, but all I have pretty much is heat and lots of humidity.
I've been frustrated about the lack of breedability of the CX too. I know a number of folks have kept back a female or two and used them to make meat mutts, and once they outcross...
Do you have chickens right now? Do you have eggers?
Why have you picked Chanteclers as your meat bird? That's not a typical choice that I'm aware of, so I'm interested to hear your reasons.
If you want a heritage meat bird, I'd recommend the New Hampshire breed, particularly the strain bred...
