    Bresse Chickens

    Noticed a few people saying about the other colours being thrown by their Bresse. I believe this is simply down to outcrossing of some sort. I'm in Ireland so have been lucky to get some blood lines from France. I've seen them crossed by other with silkies, brown hybrid laying hens and they...

    29 Aylesbury Ducklings

    Thanks VP, looking forward to getting back into this forum again. I used to follow and message a user who had a big thread in the meat section but none of the messages or alerts exist now. Do you reckon it's because he maybe quit or my inactivity for so long?

    Bresse Chickens

    To be honest, it will depend entirely on quality. I got mine 2nd or 3rd generation from France and they really grow like weed, roosters especially. However like anything, it seems a popular thing to do, which is cross them with leghorns, increases their egg laying as mine were ok, not as...

    Haven checked in for a while, bit depressing after having to get rid of my own birds! But I still have the 4 hens and rooster so have that if I ever go back, but having to get my granda to look after them so it may depend on how long he wants to! I still get messages from a onths old ad about...

    Sorry but I had to get rid of them, plus we werent sure on shipping laws to the states or if theyd be checked by you guys and someone end up with a fine :P They have likely made it over, but like anything wont be what they are like here.

    Bresse Chickens

    My experience with La Bresse is that the Roosters put on the weight and size, they are noticeably much much larger than the hens who are more light framed and flighty. So for a serious meal you need roo's. People talk of flightiness, this is definitely true when young I found, mine were taken...

No issue though as had people drive for...
