Bresse chicken

[Donaldduck111]

Hey y’all I recently bought some bresse hatching eggs and one of the chicks has green/bluish legs and another one has white/blue legs, does anyone that has bresse chickens have had something similar happen to them ? Could they be cross bred ?

Only thing I know about Breese chickens,,,,,,, they are supposed to be delicious>>
Never ate one personally,,, They also have to be on a certain diet to achieve that delicious taste. Those French chefs/cooks do know some secrets.
Sorry I cant help you with the leg colors.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and

The standard in the US is a work in progress, apparently
https://www.americanbressebreedclub.org/breed-standard
so in a sense all birds are cross breeds while they work towards getting a standard sorted.

The French have a standard, but if you're in the USA you're probably not interested in that.

The yellowish/green legs indicate that the bird will have yellow skin. Bresse are supposed to have white skin and slate colored legs. I can't say for sure that it is a mix, since the American version of the Bresse seems to be a relatively new creation, and that means that the traits of the breed may not be totally fixed yet. But it could be a mix as well.

So, what to do? First I would contact the breeder and ask questions, if possible. If the answers are not satisfactory, don't buy from that person again. Then I would wait and see what the birds look like as they mature. It may become obvious that you have mixes, or maybe not. Time will tell. If you are looking to set up your own breeding pen, I wouldn't include the one with green legs.
