Bresse Chickens

[ronott1]

We processed 27 birds and most of them were Pita Pinta mixes. We did mark the 2 Bresse and 2 of the Pita Pintas for a taste comparison. Each family has 1 of each and we plan on cooking the 2 at the same time/same manner. How do you recommend that we cook them? My DH is voting for the pressure cooker but I can only fit 1 at a time.

The age of your Cockerels is on the edge of fryer and moving into Roasting.

The one on the left is obviously a pullet and center is a cockerel. The one on the right could go either way. I am not as confident as you are that it is a pullet. Please post new photos in a week or two so we can see the results. Good luck with your pretty new chicks!

These are at 15 weeks old and are filling in very nicely.

Yes. I have one right now and so does my sister.

How old are they? I've only kept them to about a year old - if they go broody at 2 years+ I would be thrilled!
