    Indio Gigante crossed to Bresse?

    Has anybody tried this, does anybody have an idea of the outcome, and yes I'm going for a super meat bird that I can replicate, unlike cornish cross. Would you go with a bresse roo to ur gigante hens, the other way around, both, and why? Also considering the broody nature of the gigante...

    ISO Indio gigante chicks

    Looking for indio gigante chicks in Missouri or able to ship to Missouri. I have found a couple of places to order from, but they require 6+ birds and I am only looking to get about 3 if shipped. Would also prefer RRA lines. Ideally available end of March, but flexible.

    Indio Gigante broodiness

    Hello again everyone! I’ve recently purchased 6 Indio Gigante chicks from Greenfire farms! And I have a few questions for anyone who may be more knowledgeable than myself!

    Indio Gigante acting differently

    Hi! We've recently bought an Indio Gigante male about 6months old. The first few days was fine, then we've decided to mix him with a few hens so he could try to breed with them. (He hasn't touched one of them yet). About 2 days or so was fine, but today he was making some unusual noises and...
