I hatched around 10 Bresse crossed with either a black Australorp or Black Jersey Giant. I plan on processing the females at 5 months, and the males when they start to crow probably at 3 months, so they will be skinny. I hope they will be big enough to fit in my killing cone. I need to free up...

I just got an email from Asagi Hatchery on Oahu where I live today, they said they hatch Cornish cross chicks every other week, so when I get things in order I will be ordering from them. Their Cornish cross mature in 8 weeks and they are around $3.50 each, in comparison to the Bresse at...

I tried both, they have different meat texture, color and taste. The Barbeziuex chicken meat is gamey and kind of red. The texture is similar to duck. The Bresse skin is thinner and the meat color and texture is like regular chicken, it's taste depend on the chef. I haven't tried Dorkin, but I...

My Bresse rooster is sneaky, some times he behaves and some times he does things to impress the ladies, like rushing your feet when you are not looking. I feel sorry for him when he starts acting up. After the last back hand, he seems to understand who is on top of the pecking order.

Yup, that makes a difference, I was referring to the dominant male. The dominant male crows a lot more than the others. He has crowing contest with other roosters in my neighborhood early in the morning and late after noon. Other than that I forget that he is there.

Nope, they love to crow, non stop at dawn. You won't need an alarm clock with a Bresse rooster. I currently have some Jersey Giant/Bresse crosses in my incubator. I plan on processing them before they start crowing at 3 months. My Barbeziuex hens just started laying small eggs. I will cross...

Good point.........we can breed in or breed out any traits with selective breeding.

I am not against crossing, I just wanted to know what I was working with. I'll figure it out on this next batch of eggs (2017 import line). Its good to know they have separate pens, thanks for the reply.

One of the roosters from that farm is very tall and has dark blue legs and straight toes. He has some things going for him. I might pair it with my best hen to create my own line.

I just crossed my Bresse rooster with a Lemon Cuckoo Orpington hen and a Black Australorp. The white on the Bresse is dominant, all the chicks are white. However, there is a unique feather characteristic of the Bresse Chicken. The female feather out before the males. They have long wing feathers...

I have a Bresse rooster from another farm, he has a little tan color on his saddle and I have another hen and rooster from a different farm with all white feathers. They all originated from Green Fire Farm, but the different characteristics point out the two different times they brought in new...

They don't breed from the yellow leg hens, they just use them for their egg business. They will eventually weed out the yellow leg in their breeding program.

I bought four live Bresse chicks from a local farm in Hawaii called, Paradise Poultry. I ended up with 3 males and 1 female. The males had different tones of blue on their legs from light to dark and the female had yellow legs with blue splotches on its toes. I wrote to them asking them what...
