Origin, diffusion and economic characteristics
Ancient French breed (Bourg en Bresse is a town north of Lyon), whose origins are highly debated.
Dual-purpose breed. It produces about 250 white shell eggs in one year.
The only poultry DOC in the world (in France AOC, Appelation dOrigine Contrôlée), it provides a very precious and delicate meat with white skin.
The breed is often called the Bresse Gauloise although it is a distinct breed from the Gauloise.

Industrial white Bresse
For commercial and market needs, the original chicken did not lend itself well to the needs of modern poultry shops and rotisseries.
A commercial book was then produced for the production of Bresse chicken.
It is a mestizo in which white Bresse and white Australorp appear as parents (it is not clear, however, if additional breeds appear in the mestizo formula).
It is therefore easy to distinguish librido from the breed for the difference in color of the mullet and for the considerable difference in size.
- Purebred bluish white earloin, rarely flecked with red, dark eye slim Mediterranean shape
- Not purebred red mumps, classic forms of the double-acting intermediate chicken, yellow eye
Of course a number of mestizos escape the general rules and look more like one or another alternative form.
This is due to a certain lack of method in keeping the two clearly separate.
The weight reached by the commercial hybrid is completely superimposable on normal hybrids 2.8-3.0 kg females 3.2- 3.4 kg male.

In my opinion, someone has already said, but I cannot share the link.
I apologize, but I think you are wrong. I can prove it. Write to me in PM, we will discuss.
Bravo, I think this is the admirable thought
I believe you were wrong. I'm sure. Write to me in PM, discuss it.
I'm sorry, but in my opinion, you are wrong.
It does not approach me. Perhaps there are still variants?
