american Bresse
Available as hatching eggs or chicks, typically from March to October.
Often called the "Queen of Chickens," the American Bresse is prized for its dual-purpose qualities—producing both richly marbled meat and a steady supply of cream-colored eggs. Known for their friendly temperament, strong foraging instincts and striking appearance (white feathers, blue legs, and red combs), Bresse birds are ideal for homesteaders who want a premium table bird and productive layers. Our Bresse lines are carefully bred for size, temperament, and to support the breed standards.
