Available on a "on demand" basis, we will grow a group of birds and sex them for you. 6-8 Weeks old, coop and flock ready!

We cull so you wont have to.  Birds are selected for size, blue leg color, meaty type, width of body, depth of body, weight gain, vigor.  Price is the same for cockerels/hens.  These are to be considered breeding stock quality.  You will be expected to continue culling for desirable traits going forward.

With proper feed, you should see egg laying begin at 14-16 weeks old.  Hatchable egg size should be reached by 10-12 months old.  We do not recommend hatching pullet eggs.  It is best to wait for the young hens to reach maturity for best results.

DO plan to keep an eye on your young roosters.  They will have a lot of vigor and teenager spirit at first.  Be patient.  Allow them to work out their pecking order and their place in the flock.  Our roosters are not mean tempered.  They are highly vigorous, predator aware, and highly fertile.

DO plan to have ample roost room, correct feed and grit available, and nesting areas in place by age 16-18 weeks to set the hens' laying habits. 

Bresse require more room than other breeds.  DO have ample run space or free range them.  DO expect them to look for forage.  DO expect them to go broody.  These are homestead, farm and family birds with the added bonus of amazing meat and eggs.  They are not pet chickens.  While they can be and often are very friendly, consider them to be highly capable of survival on the farm.  They do not need coddling.  They just need a dry, draft free environment, ample ventilation, and highly nutritious food.

We feed and recommend FERTRELL based recipes we make here on farm.  If you feed inferior nutrition, you will not have good results.  Pay more now for better feed, and you will see massive results on the other side.  More eggs, more meat, healthier birds, less disease and pest issues.  You wouldn't want to live on cereal, so don't expect your birds to do it either.  Read your labels.  If you see 3% fat, you have worthless feed.  If you see "animal byproducts" or "grain byproducts" most likely it is junk.
