    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?

    Still followi ng despite my lack of chickens! All sounds awesome man, depending how long they were out you might have been ok? But if the egsg there and time then better safe than poor chicks

    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...

    You've got the feeding regime well noted now and a base mark for getting a new batch in the spring, even for when breeding and hatching yourself Unfortunately I've had to move house wit work and now living in the city, so had to get rid of the whole lot. No issue though as had people drive for...

    Looking excellent, those figures are actually great, amazing the difference some had, though I can see why you are only bothering with a few of them now than too many! A lot of work catching them, mine are still ballistic and scatter at any movement, their nature I suppose but definitely my...

    Bresse Chickens

    Dont worry they will change, most of ine were yellow with a slight dark hue, as they are now 3 weeks old they definitely are getting more blue. Like anything some may never get very dark but remain true otherwise, up to you to cull as the leg is a characteristic of aesthetics,nothing else, the...

    Haha I wish I had the heat to talk about, the days are getting noticeably shorter and feel colder than they were, more rain too of course. Your numbers are definitely encouraging, seems obvious the white rocks make great stock hens, I see now why theyre used for our commercial growers here in...

    Bresse Chickens

    My chicks are reared by me and are still flighty so it obviously makes little difference, I think it is their nature!

    Would your finch fledglings norally land on the floor before the quail? Quail Id doubt would be the main reason, unless they pecked at it out of curiosity. Are the fledglings eaten at?
