American Bresse chickens are the best tasting chicken in the word but only if you feed them right.
We raise American bresse and love them. We finish them the same way. Great homestead bird.
I'm growing corn bred just for chickens this year.
It's the first time im trying it. It's supposed to have more glutathione ( I think, it's what they need for good embryos and hatching).
It's called Chicken, funny enough 😂
I ordered it from Sand Hill Preservation.
Your milking setup is exactly what we had back in the 70’s! Thanks for taking me down memory lane ❤!
Glad to have stumbled on this channel. As we start documenting our journey, Bresse are something we want to incorporate into our long-term strategy.
Thank you for all the info. Easy to understand and follow. Class act!
The reason for corn is that it will change the flavour of the meat. So what that grain smells like is what your meat will absorb - i find that the corn soaked with milk is just fantastic.
Absolutely, with that being said Do you think what milk you are use changes the flavor as well?
@@The.Recreational.Homestead I do - raw milk would be best - I hope to have fresh milk next year for finishing -
@@The.Recreational.Homestead Maybe

I am looking forward to getting my Bresse chickens at the of the month. I have been saving my Raw cows milk in the freezer for when I am ready to finish those Bresse Roosters. Thank you
Thank you for supporting us by not only watching our videos but also purchasing a box of chicks.
Thank you, this was helpful. I'd also be interested in learning how you go about choosing breeding stock.
Thanks for watching, that’s a great idea
I too am interested in learning how you choose breeding stock? Also are you considering selling any of the fertilized eggs to a fledgling homesteader?
I am interested also. Video’s describing what you look for would be great. I am starting to figure out breeding as well.
I don't why I laughed at the thought of milking the pig.
I'm pretty sure your rooster would have really enjoyed that fly!
😂😂 so true
This is the one video that answered ALL those questions I had about finishing off the roosters. Now I need to check around and find a resource for raw milk.... thanks again for sharing your know-how so effortlessly! If you were planning to butcher all of them in one day, do you think two to three weeks of grain-soaked milk be enough time to get the marble effect?
The people that imported from France said to feed them soaked Grains in raw milk for 3 to 4 weeks for the best effect.
Thank you for the video . What brand is the feeders ,and where did you get them ?Thank you.
They are creep feeders for pigs

Thanks for watching
Hey I'm currently raising 50 for the freezer.... would love to get the info on how to get it from you next year!

Looks like you sell chicks. Very interested.
Going to try to connect.
So you are feeding them a chick starter/grower for 3wks, then switch the to the corn, at 14wks you add milk?
Yes 3 weeks on chick starter and then a meat chicken grower and at 14 weeks I mix milk in with e the grower
@@The.Recreational.Homestead Do you do that with your layers too? switch them to layer feed at 14 weeks?
Just curious, why only 2 weeks before butchering? Does it really make that much of a difference in Two weeks time? Have you tried not giving them milk at all, or giving them milk the whole time?
Great question, 2 weeks is just a minimum I found in my research and it does make a big difference in the amount of fat they have. I have not tried giving them milk the whole time, for me I pick out my breeding stock at 14 week and I would not want all that fat in my breeding stock. But that would be fun to play with
The farmers that imported this breed said to feed them milk soaked gains for 3 to 4 weeks before butchering for best marbling effects.
Your cow is very beautiful what is the breed or cross breed ?
Thank you, I think so as well. She is a jersey I was picking up a bull calf at a dairy from one day and saw her in the pen of calves and had to beg the farmer to sell her to me, she was 6 weeks old at the time.
@@The.Recreational.Homestead I wouldn't breed her to Jersey bull maybe to Angus bull.
I bred her to a limousine bull the first time and that calf was just butchered and did great on grass
Nonsense. Barely noticeable flavor and texture from a Bresse simply allowed to free range.
That’s good to know, did you feed milk at the end or just free range on normal feed?
You have to feed them corn soaked in raw milk for 3 to 4 weeks to get the marbling and the flavor. The European way of small confined area with milk soaked grains is what you were looking for.
Probably depends on your taste buds. I'm a wine expert and the number of people who can't taste the difference between two totally different grapes made by two different finishing methods (steel vs oak) blows my mind
That cow is sure skinny
It's a Jersey lol
