Have bresse hen that hatched 7 chicks..was exposed to dorking and bresse rooster .two of the chicks are yellow like a bresse with no other markings and yellow legs. Pure?
Keeping a few hens and a roo from this years bresse flock. Have a lot of hens .40 or so. Hard to make the cut to around 10. Some have just started to lay. Should they be my first choice if all else us equal.
I have several Bresse from GFF (also 65 from another breeder) and I'm not sure how to cull the group. I plan in keeping a roo or two and 10-20 hens. I was planning on selecting the largest rooster and hens. Making sure they don't have any obvious defects. What else?
