This 500 year old dual purpose heritage breed originated in France. They are great layers, but are most famous for their meat quality which is known to have a marbling effect similar to beef. Genetically they are the same as poulet de Bresse, however are called Canadian Bresse in Canada due to import restrictions. In France, poulet de Bresse have a reputation for being the best quality table chicken in the world. They are "the queen of poultry, the poultry of kings". We have white, blue, black and splash. Like all our chickens, these are free ranged and fed organic grain and produce. No antibiotics or hormones.
