    Do You See A Bresse Market Problems or Not Really?

    Head shakes on Bresse roosters

    Hi all, This spring we hatched Wyandotte and Bresse eggs. We noticed a few weeks ago that the Bresse roosters ONLY (not the Bresse hens or any of the Wyandottes) were doing this strange head shake. Our experience with chickens is limited to Wyandottes, who have very compact combs, and since...

    American Bresse?

    Hey guys. So I recently got some American Bresse from a quality breeder (not a hatchery). My plan was originally to raise & butcher. But it got me thinking… Are they nearly as “desirable” as the French Bresse? Is there any money in selling hatching eggs or chicks compared to standard breeds in...

    Fine versus Coarse Meat

    I’ve heard that, for example, Dorkings and Bresse have fine meat, while Cornish and Jersey Giants have coarse meat. I have only eaten store bought chicken and self-slaughtered Buff Orpingtons. Can someone explain the texture (and if applicable the taste) differences between Coarse and fine meat...
