The American Bresse
is a noble and noteworthy breed of poultry,
esteemed for both its practical utility
and refined table qualities.
Descended from the illustrious French Bresse—long held in regard as the finest meat bird in the world—the American Bresse carries forward this legacy with admirable vigor. These fowls are of handsome appearance, clothed in clean white plumage, with brilliant red combs and legs of a distinctive bluish hue, echoing the national colors. They are well-favored by the prudent smallholder, being excellent foragers, of swift and efficient growth, and yielding a richly flavored flesh of fine texture. In addition to their meat qualities, they are steady layers of cream-hued eggs, rendering them a most suitable choice for those who desire a poultry breed of both beauty and usefulness.
Our birds thrive most contentedly upon open pasture, where they may daily partake of sunshine, fresh air, and the abundant green bounty of the field. With a lively and industrious spirit, they range freely within mobile chicken tractors, which afford them both the utmost security and the benefit of fresh ground each day. These movable enclosures are guided gently over the pasture, ensuring that the birds are ever upon clean, verdant forage while safeguarded from harm. They scratch and peck with great diligence, ever in search of tender shoots, seeds, and insects to enrich their diet. This natural manner of keeping not only suits their hardy constitution but imparts to their flesh a depth of flavor most rare and pleasing. Their presence upon the pasture lends both charm and purpose, for they are as comely in form as they are profitable in yield—a true ornament to the well-kept homestead.
