Have you done taste test White Bresse vs. Barbeziuex? The Dorking taste just like Bresse, but growth pretty slow.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 them with my Bresse rooster in about a month. I like the taste of the pure Barbeziuex chicken, but they take too long to fill in. They keep growing for 14 months like the Jersey Giants.
Bresse crosses fill in faster than regular heritage breeds.
I am going to try this recipe with a Bresse chicken
