The red, white and blue chicken!
This is what the American Bresse is called because of its red comb, white feathers, and blue feet. Originating from France as the “world’s most delicious bird”, you can find Bresse in French markets with the blue feet still attached to guarantee its authenticity. The French credit its delicious meat largely to raising them on quality pasture and feeding the birds milk soaked corn during the final weeks before butchering. The meat develops a marbling.
Unlike other meat birds the Bresse have a smaller and lighter bone structure, giving them a higher meat to bone ratio.
We first got them for meat, but they have become a dual purpose breed for us because they are incredible egg layers! If you want to add them to your coop, we’ve got chicks for you!
