I love the Bresse too. They taste delicious, and I have had capons slips up to 4 1/2 pounds dressed. I am looking forward to dressing out some full capons this year.I have to say I love this breed.
The boys gain nice weight. Haven't butchered yet, but getting close.
And the girls are amazing layers! They're laying 5-6 eggs a week and , while I can't find my scale, they look to be large.
They can easily keep up with hatchery type breeds, in my opinion.
And I'm raising them in grow out pens with other breeds.
They are one of the less aggressive birds, but they don't take a lot of flack from others.
They are not aggressive, but the roosters can be quite protective of their hens especially when they are with them in a breeding pen. At least that has been my experience, albeit limited.
