The Chantecler is a Canadian dual-purpose chicken breed. It was bred in the early twentieth century at the Oka Agricultural Institute in Oka, Quebec. These chickens are more resistant to extreme cold due to their thick close feathering and dense down. Their small or vestigial cushion-shaped comb and small or vestigial wattles are nearly non-existent which prevents frostbite in these areas. The skin and shanks of the Chantecler are yellow in the white variant, while they are horn-colored in the partridge variant.

Chanteclers have medium-sized body weights up to 5.5 lbs (2.5kg) for hens and 10.8 lbs (4.9kg) for cocks. Hens may be expected to lay about 200 large light brown eggs per year.

The breed was first shown in 1918 and added to the American Standard of Perfection of the American Poultry Association in 1921. The Chantecler is now an endangered breed with fewer than 1500 birds remaining in Canada as of 2007. In 1979, the extinction of the breed was publicized, but later it was discovered to still be alive on several small farms.
