Jeg fandt denne omtale af en canadisk hønserace der skulle være lidt af en mester i æglægning om vinteren. Den er hvid og med rosenkam så vidt jeg kan se. Måske skulle vi få nogen herover, og hjælpe med at holde liv i den åbenbart meget sjældne race:
White Chantecler Chickens, originally bred at the Abbey Notre Dame du Lac at Oka, PQ in the 1900's, the white Chantecler is Canada's native heritage chicken breed. Brother Wilfred developed a "Canadian" chicken, a dual purpose meat and laying bird, tolerant of bitter Canadian weather, and reputed to continue laying their large, creamy brown eggs through the long winters, when American and European breeds give up. Active and athletic foragers, they are quick and wary enough to reduce predation losses on range, and to look after themselves around the farm. Chantecler roosters are usually gentle with humans, and an excellent choice for the younger poultry keepers. On the Rare Breeds Canada and ALBC "critical" lists, and recognized by the APA in 1921.
