Bresse Chickens

[Huckleberry1776]

I saw on another post that you are looking for Amber Links Hybrids. I am curious why you think it is okay to support one hybrid and not another. If Bresse are so spectacular, why do you feel the need to get another breed?

I have two Freedom Ranger hens that I intend to breed to one of my Bresse Roosters. In my opinion, the Breese genetics will improve the conformation of the Freedom Rangers and make them better foragers. I will then take a rooster from that crossing to breed back to the Freedom Ranger hens. Breeding my Bresse rooster to my Freedom Ranger hens will have absolutely no impact on my purebred Bresse breeding program.

How did this breeding work out?! I have plans to do this exact thing. Recently read about the dwarf gene in the rangers though which is normally passed on the maternal side. Might reconsider doing the opposite unless you had success.
Thank you!
