The American Bresse is a remarkable breed known for its superior meat quality and excellent egg production. It's signature traits — fast growth, flavorful meat, and vibrant health. American Bresse chickens make great foragers. They are lovely with their bright red combs, pure white plumage, and striking blue legs, creating a patriotic red, white, and blue appearance that stands out in any flock. In addition, the hens are dependable layers of medium-sized tan-colored eggs. We find they are more consistent winter layers then the barnyard mix of traditional layers we have. We also appreciate their temperament.  They are very docile and friendly, not flighty,   Even the roosters are sweet tempered. They do take longer to grow out than your standard Cornish cross, but well worth the wait.  We are processing a yummy 4-6lb bird at 16 weeks.  We currently raise the whites, but are adding a blue variety this spring.
