These are the fast growing meat bird that produces the renowned French Bresse, which sells for top dollar among table fare. These birds are raised on pasture for 10 weeks and then caged and put on rations of organic feed and dairy for two weeks, which produces a large nicely marbled carcass of 4-6lbs dressed weight.
These birds are also an amazing layer of large to XL cream colored eggs, with estimates of 250-270epy in healthy well cared for flocks. The American Bresse is an excellent forager and free ranging bird. They are also very attentive to predator threats. If you’re looking for an all around excellent dual-purpose breed that still produces lots of eggs and fast meat production, this bird is hard to top.
