There are a few things I want to discuss in this thread and I'm hoping people have some advice, questions, theories to share.
1. Are American Bresse all they're cracked up to be?
2. What are your thoughts on Bresse x Partridge Chantecler and/or Bresse x Buckeye?
3. In your opinion, how do those dual purpose birds work in terms of flavor and meat at 12-16 weeks?
4. What about brahma crosses with those birds?lol
On the farm we have ameraucana (black and lavender), buff brahma, buckeyes and now partridge chanteclers coming along. I'm hoping to not only show some birds this year, but also possibly either improve on the viability of those existing breeds, or cross some things to make a more viable bird.
Attached is Henry, our one adult partridge Chantecler. 17 are in the brooder to join him this summer though.
