AMERICAN BRESSE CHICKENS


WELCOME! AMERICAN BRESSE CHICKENS ARE A REMARKABLE, DUAL-PURPOSE BREED.

Group of American Bresse hens with the flock rooster foraging amongst kitchen
scraps at Ambresse Acres. These are patriot birds: Red comb, white feathers,
blue legs!

The breed is quite new to the United States and Canada, having been imported
only in 2011. If you’re hearing about this breed for the very first time, that
may be why.



DUAL, OR TRIPLE-PURPOSE?

 1. EGGS: American Bresse chickens are excellent egg-layers. They are likely to
    start laying eggs by week 17, and they lay close to an egg a day through
    spring, summer, and autumn. Many American Bresse chickens lay 250 eggs per
    year, or more.
    
    
 2. MEAT: American Bresse chickens are also fast growing meat birds. They grow
    faster than the usual dual purpose breeds such as Rhode Island Red or
    Plymouth Rock.
    
    
 3. FLAVOR: Additionally, American Bresse have the same unique meat quality and
    intense flavor that French Bresse chickens are known for. They are described
    as the "most delicious chicken in France" due to the fat-marbled meat sought
    after by renowned chefs. And they command a commensurate price in French
    markets. 

It is hard to keep secret a breed this cool and useful!

American Bresse chickens are a striking red, white and blue. 

Roosters have large, shockingly red single combs and wattles contrasting sharply
with their all-white feathers. The legs provide the blue, ranging in color from
quite bluish to a darker steel gray.


Those first French chicken farmers may have been quite patriotic. Whether by
accident or by design, Bresse chicken coloration is now proudly said to
represent the blue, white, and red of the French flag.

Interesting for American Bresse breeders is that the United States flag is, very
conveniently, also red, white and blue.

While American Bresse are most commonly found in all-white plumage, nevertheless
blue, black, grey (silver penciled), and splash varieties also exist. All have
blue to steel-gray legs.

AMERICAN BRESSE CHICKENS ARE STILL BEING PERFECTED IN NORTH AMERICA...


AND BREEDERS ARE UP FOR THE CHALLENGE.

Surely it is evident that the French were not going to just sell to anyone their
very best Bresse stock?


Eleven years is the longest any breeders in the United States have been breeding
American Bresse specifically. That is why great opportunity exists to further
improve this breed, and Ambresse.com is here to help, as much as possible.

AMBRESSE.COM SUPPORTS AMERICAN BRESSE BREEDERS, HOBBY FARMERS, AND
HOMESTEADERS...

Ambresse.com presents the history and background of the French Bresse Chicken,
the source of the American Bresse chicken. This helps provide a sense of where
the breed has been and where it is going. We hope you will join us on the
journey!

Ambresse.com supports the American Bresse Breed Club, which as of early 2024 is
still in process of formation. Progress! The American Bresse Breed
Club information is temporarily hosted here on the Ambresse website. The Breed
Club is the keeper of a draft standard of perfection for the American Bresse
breed, drafted in February, 2022 in collaboration with a core group of dedicated
American Bresse breeders. It is closely modeled after the French Standard of
Perfection, other than specifications for size, and will help guide both
American and Canadian breeding choices.

Because the breed is relatively new in North America, it needs a standard, and
breeders willing to dedicate themselves to improving their flock. With concerted
and joint efforts, the breed will thrive here in America.

Feel free to bookmark this website and check back here as frequently as you
like! We’ll direct you to the club details as soon as they become available.

It provides details about genetic information that is specific to the American
Bresse breed.

It maintains an American Bresse breeder directory. By working together we can
continue the journey toward enhancing and perfecting the American Bresse breed
on this side of the Atlantic.

It will provide guidance on best practices for selective breeding. I love that
the American Bresse breed already benefits humanity in multiple ways, but there
is always room for improvement, for example, to improve body structure or growth
efficiency, or to eliminate genetic problems as they crop up.


It will offer a marketplace to American Bresse breeders. They will have
opportunity to list American Bresse related items that they might have
available, such as eggs, hatching eggs, breeding stock, meat, even manure, etc.

It will detail husbandry practices that are partially or mostly specific to the
American Bresse breed. For example, an American Bresse market bird will become
an excellent market bird after a degree of "finishing" is applied. We can even
offer you a finishing recipe! We'll give you the full scoop on how to produce a
meat bird that will satisfy the finest chef. But of course, how much finishing
you wish to do is completely up to you.

AMERICAN BRESSE CHICKENS COME FROM FRANCE


Province of Bresse in eastern France is marked in red. Click the pic to view
full size. Photo: Wikipedia.

American Bresse chickens originated directly from French Bresse chickens in the
Bresse province of France (pictured), which have been raised by the French
people for at least 500 years, and no doubt quite a bit longer.

The year 1591 marks the first known recognition in the historical record of
"Bresse" chickens. 


AMERICAN BRESSE

The first French Bresse chicken imports arrived in the United States in 2011.
Legal controls around the use of the name "Bresse" outside of the tiny Bresse
region in France necessitated modifications to the breed name in North America.
Here, the breed is currently called American Bresse. They are virtually
identical genetically to Bresse chickens in France.

There is much more breed history and details on the French Bresse Chicken
History page.

This website focuses on the American Bresse Chicken, along with other
chicken-related topics. Due to the protections given by France to the Bresse
breed, it is important to consistently differentiate when necessary between the
Bresse chicken breed of France and North American chickens of direct French
Bresse descent. For this reason, we call them American Bresse chickens,
repetitively, throughout the website. You might notice that this can start to
feel clunky at times. So, in order to write more fluidly, we also use a couple
contracted terms to reference American Bresse chickens: “Am Bresse,” or ABC
(American Bresse Chickens). Our keystrokes spell out ABC or Am Bresse, but our
heads see American Bresse. We hope you will see the same.
