Appearance:

• American Bresse chickens are often quite striking in appearance. They typically have a pure white plumage,  blue legs and a unique, bright red comb. 

Meat Quality:

• One of the most notable aspects of American Bresse chickens is their meat. The chickens are prized for their tender, juicy, and flavorful meat.
