Thanks for sharing your review. Mine are almost 8 weeks old now and considerably plumper than the BCMs and New Hampshire Red mixes that are the same age. I haven't tried Dorkings or Sussexes, but the NH mixes have been delicious, so the bar's going to be pretty high for the Bresse.I have a chance to taste 2+ years old Bresse rooster. The flavor was very good and as good as Silver Grey Dorking or Dark Cornish x Light Sussex. There is no fating up or any special feed. I highly recommend to those who want to raise dual purpose breed. The only thing I don't like is white bird. Have you seen any of your bird with white earlobe? I have 1 young rooster that way. He is lighter weigh than other.
I haven't seen white earlobes yet...their combs and wattles aren't that large at this point, so it may show up later..? In any case, they're big, pretty, laid-back birds and will make a nice addition to the flock.
