I have searched and searched for a picture of the blue Bresse variety. Out of the 6 I received, 3 are cockerels and they all have silver in the hackle and saddle feathers. 2 of them are light blue, but it looks like the darker blue is correct. One of the 3 pullets is a pencilled variety, (not...
I have a big, beautiful group of week old chicks from Keith Loeffler. Very large and active. If anyone is in or near Middle TN, I need to split the order. There was a minimum which is more that I actually need. They just arrived and were a week old yesterday.
I processed mine in the middle of July when it was 100 degrees. The meat is very good and that is with me not conditioning them in the proper way. It was far too hot to keep them confined. From that experience I learned to plan the processing when it is cool, for me and the birds sake. What has...
Here are some of my Bresse pullets. I have some cockerels from a different source who are still young. In the mean time my Swedish Flower Hen rooster is enjoying their company.
Here is the response from the owner of the Bresse farm in MS:
Our hens and roosters look the same way when there young and growing. A lot of that will disappear as they get older. Thanks for contacting us!

I bet you are correct. They have legbars on the website. Honesty would have...
I could be wrong, but I believe the Bresse farm in MS, told me they had all 4 green fire farms imports in separate pens. When you call or email there they are friendly and helpful. Actually getting the chicks shipped has been an exercise in patience. I'm not sure I would do business with them...
Getting a new pen ready for this lady and some others to have a breeding group. The pullets look nice, but I'm not satisfied with my cockerel. He is kind of lanky for my tastes. Anyone in Tennessee or Ala. have a nice cockerel they aren't keeping?
I received my order from the Bresse Farm in MS today. Paid for them 2/22 and received them 8/2. These are Blue Bresse, which are supposed to be ultra-rare. I hope I dont have as much trouble hatching them as they apparently do! If anyone knows anything about these blue bresse, please let me know...
Greenfire Farms Imported Bresse. From my understanding, there have been 4 separate imports. In the US, they must be designated as American Bresse. According to the French the only true Bresse are raised and finished in the French manner in France. There are several places you can get American...
Update to my post above. Received an email today that I am next on the list and should get my order next week. Also, they told me in an earlier conversation that they keep all 4 imports of the American Bresse (white) lines separately, so they are all available if someone wanted a...
I know they are really nice. I have been trying to get chicks from them since Feb. and they have not yet filled the order. They have kept in contact though. When I get the chicks, I will definitely post pictures here. I ordered the blue bresse. I think if I had ordered something more common they...
Cool! I bought them from 2 different people, but just assumed they were all pretty close since there was only one importer. Guess I have more homework to do!
I will have white, blue, black and splash breese. It will be fall before I am hatching. The colors are ultra rare, but very pretty. The French claim they can tell a taste difference in the different colors. I doubt my pallet is that refined!
I have a friend who has been raising them and...
