American Bresse

Well, easier to buy a roo than pullets! Always toooo many of those .

I've been watching my BYHs. 8 from incubated, looks 5 pullets. The 4 hen hatched looks 3 pullets. Then, the 5 BOs purchased -- saying pullets -- are 4 & 1 roo...which I love!

Appears I'll most likely have a dz new hens to lay this winter . I'll keep the BOs separated and incubate eggs just before spring comes. Found out a goat friend got Bresse eggs & hatched.

To be dead honest, I'm not a fan of the butcher part. I'll wait for you & him to report that taste is "that much" better. . Otherwise, I'll hatch & sell chicks, eggs, roos + buy meat.

Maybe you're goat friend would sell me a roo in a few months?

I'll sure ask him! . If he's got an extra, he would.

Little pale pink combs just barely taller than the feathers on their heads.
Red 38.6oz = 2.41lbs
Yellow 35.1oz = 2.29lbs
Blue 35.6oz = 2.22lbs

They no longer fit in that strainer gizmo. A couple of weeks ago they could stand in it. Today they went in laying on their side & could only hunker down in a squat while hanging.
I'm going to have to figure out something else for next week.

Also... little wild buggers scratched me bad. I look like I've been in a fight with a barn cat. Scratches all over my legs. Deeper bleeding one on my palm.

Wear blue jeans and denim work shirt, plus leather gloves. If you have Atwoods in your part of the country, they carry men’s cotton blue jeans, their store brand, Real Ranch. Made in Bangledesh, they are not true to size and you must try on every pair. Price is $12. I buy them for farm jeans.

Use a reusable grocery bag to put chickens to weigh them.

Pretties!

Yep, pullets! Good news -- easier to get a roo than a pullet . They don't want to sell a girl.

Did you get your birds from Bresse Farms? I was just looking at their website.
