Here are some white Chanteclers I got from them last spring. I also got some blue quail d'Anvers but was not happy with the colouring of them. Don't have pics of them.

That is my pick up as well. I am about 45 mins north east of them.

Nice Chanteclers. Did you get the red hens from Performance too? They all look lovely- your rooster doesn't seem to be wrecking their back feathers.

No the red hens are from Freys.

Will you be hatching eggs from your chantecler/red cross? They would probably make awesome small combed egg layers.

Yes I have been hatching that cross for a few months now. I kept the first batch and sold the rest as chicks. I thought it would be a good cross too. Lay lots of eggs and be winter hardy and lay all winter.

I'd love to see some photos of the hens and eggs if you have any
