I just saw that Greenfire farms are discontinuing the black and blue Bresse. I am quite disappointed by this fact. I had hoped to get a few more of them this spring. How are yours doing? I love their personalities. They are quite friendly birds.
Our blue one is the most social. The splash and black pullets don't like being held as much. If you catch them they will put up with it. They are all three very gentle non aggressive birds. We were so sad that we lost the cockerel.
No, you didn't guess right. They are both pullets. We also had two black Bresse and one was a pullet and one was a cockerel, but we lost the black cockerel.
So as of now we have one blue, one black and one splash all pullets. They have gone to my sisters house to join her other layers...
The top two photos are of the blue Bresse chick and the bottom two are of our splash chick. They are Three weeks old now. Any idea what gender they are? I know it is a bit early, but the boys have such large combs I was wondering if you can tell by this age.
I can't find a thread dedicated to Blue Bresse so I thought I should start one. My sister and I just got this breed! I am excited to see other peoples Blue Bresse and how they are doing. Fingers crossed we are hoping we have both genders. They are about 2 weeks old right now so we still have...
