Which chicken breed should I choose. Is there a breed that can compete with modern hybrids? Australorp, New Hampshire, Rhode Island Red, ... which one should I choose. You may be surprised.

Been looking for a reliable dual-purpose breed to choose. Thanks so much for staying on topic and keeping your videos short and concise. I appreciate this very much, and have given up on some vloggers who prattle on about many unrelated topics, personal matters, focusing the camera on themselves (even when interviewing Joel S, etc.). Tack mycket!

It is extremely important that those who are maintaining heritage breed fowl cull keeping in mind the traits that are so important, such as weight, age of maturity, high egg yields etc. Keeping good records, weighing birds and culling poor performers and using for breeding stock, only the top performing birds (according to the records they keep). Enjoyed your video. :)
@simeonandalex
@simeonandalex 7 лет назад
Yes. The problem is that many heritage breeds have gone down in performance because this was neglected.
@IslandExoticsHomestead
@IslandExoticsHomestead 7 лет назад
Swedish Homestead Yes I know that. However careful selection from knowledgeable poultry breeders (Non Hatchery)who have worked hard to keep the important qualities within their flock. I have kept heritage breed poultry for 20 yrs.
@simeonandalex
@simeonandalex 7 лет назад
Private poultry keepers have done a very important job in preserving the heritage breeds the past few decades. Unfortunately most just multiply the breeds and lack the time and knowledge to select and breed for performance. We need more of those breeders like you. Think if just 5% of all resources that are put into hybrids would go into breeding heritage breeds professionally, what we could accomplish. There is an organization in Germany that started to select Italian chickens for performance again after several breeds had gone down in egg production about 40 eggs / year over the past decades. They were able to increase the egg production by their efforts very quickly. We need more of those initiatives.

While I don't have much interest in chickens other than to eat them, it occured to me as I watched this that your wife has done quite a good job of teaching you english. Your vocabulary , sentence structure, accents and pronunciation are better than many people I've encountered that were raised with english as their only language.

Thanks for the info, Simeon. I haven't seen that breed win Wyoming, USA, where I live. I currently raise and breed Black's Jersey Giants, an American breed from the early 1900s, that is slow growing, but matures to approx 11 pounds for hens and 13 pounds for roosters. Good meat and pretty good egg producers, too. I always enjoy hearing about breeds and their capabilities. Thanks, again!

Simeon I just ordered some American Bresse today from GreenFire Farms. They'll be here on the 24th. I was so excited I went out and cleaned the chicken coop and brooder and re-mulched them both, put the chickies waterer and feeder into the dishwasher to disinfect them, and got their first bag of chick starter crumble ready. I put some DE into the feed as suggested by Becky's Homestead and Appalachia's Homestead with Patara. I wonder how much of a market there will be for chicks here in my area? I'm in North Mississippi just south of Memphis Metro area. Thanks for posting on these Simeon!

@dimitrofvbg9293 7 лет назад
Bresse gauloise is the full name of this breed. I am from Bulgaria, here I've seen 3 colours of this beautiful breed - white, black and blue. I have had the white and the blue version, but the blues weren't that good as the whites so right now I am having only the white. BUT, if you want to get the best dual purposed breed, you should try the White Plymouthrock - not the exhibition type, but the productive type! They are the mothers of the cornish crosses or also known as broilers! For me, the best chicken breed! If you can find real productive White Plymouthrocks - give them a try, I am sure that you are going to like them! Keep going and all the best from Bulgaria :)
@simeonandalex
@simeonandalex 7 лет назад
Thank you. I will check into that. I have heard that the White Rocks are not very hardy though. Bresse gauloise is a brand name and not really the name of the breed. They are not allowed to be called that outside of the are in France that they are raised in. We call them Les Bleues.

All great choices but I love my silver laced Wyandottes ... I live in Iowa in US and it gets cold here like last night it was -12 f with a wind chill of -30 and some of my hens slept outta the coop for what ever reason... so like it others don't. Our chickens free range very well but I do supplement feeding this time of year . I provide no heat only fresh fluffy straw I a coop that's pretty wind proof .they produce xx large eggs and plenty of them even when it's this cold. They produce eggs at 14-16 weeks and are 4 pounds at 10-11 weeks. That's my magic number 4-5 lbs or our family. But they are the healthiest birds to date. I haven't tried the breese but I can't imagine I'd give up a week or two of eggs in trade for the beauty of our chickens ! They're just so pleasing to look at . Free range well and they're a big strong bird. The roosters are how ever aggressive with their ladies. But my son has managed to survive since he was 4 in with the roosters. Seen many fights with empty egg basket and my son has won over the roosters now ! My son goes in to collect eggs roosters run out lol. But that's my pick for my birds on our homestead. Keep up the fine work! And God blessings to you and yours! Steve

I live in UpState NY and the Winters can be brutal some years ... how would these chickens do in my area ... do they eat fodder well??? Assuming good diet, what is their average egg production over an 18 months production period???

I have been trying the bresse. I am not as happy with them as you are. They have to much comb and wattle for where I am in Canada, to prone to frost bite. My favourite dual purpose is the dark cornish. The disadvantage for them is their slow growth. I have been playing with crosses between the bresse and dark cornish. So far I am happy with this and will be playing with it more in the future.
@ProfoundConfusion
@ProfoundConfusion 7 лет назад
I haven't been able to find Bresse chickens anywhere in Canada. Where did you get yours? Also, are you sure it was actually the dark Cornish breed you've been raising & crossing. It's surprising that you had good luck with them as dual purpose birds since they're usually strictly meat birds. They're usually poor layers, at least that's what I've been told by people who've raised them. Please let me know where you got your Bresse chickens because I'd love to try them.
@kevintulak9987
@kevintulak9987 7 лет назад
I got them from a guy on the bc coast. I will have to try and find the name. The dark cornish are not the greatest layer but the ones I have lay quite well, probably 220 eggs a year. They also lay well in the winter. They are very calm disposition as well. The latest ones I got came from Murray McMurray hatchery in the states.
@ProfoundConfusion
@ProfoundConfusion 7 лет назад
Thank You, if you can find his name, I'd be very grateful. I've tried many breeds over the past 20+ breeds but I've settled on Barred Plymouth Rocks, originally from Frey's Hatchery. They're the right combination of good layers & calm disposition to suit me. Also, I've found that the young roosters, up to 6-7 months , are absolutely delicious. In fact, even the 3 year old hens are good to eat if they're cooked slowly for a few hours. But I'd still love to try raising some Bresse chickens because I've heard so many good things about them.

@simeonandalex
@simeonandalex 7 лет назад
Thank you. In theory you can get chicks from the cornish cross but they will not have the same fast growth and characteristics as the parents. A full grown broiler will also be so heavy that the hens will suffer under the weight of the roosters.

Thank you Simeon! This is a fantastic, thorough review of this breed! After watching, I want to try this breed. My huge concern is their large combs and wattles. I am in central PA USA. where winters are long and temperatures can stay sub zero F for a week or more. - 25 F at night is not unusual. (-32 C I think for you.) How cold does your farm get? I wonder why you are not getting frostbite on your Bresse?

We also have this issue here in Canada, though our temps fluctuate a lot. We have our large combed and wattles chickens in a barn and seal up any draughty areas, while leaving the needed ventilation. We’ve had frost bite before but mostly on the wattles from the chickens drinking and instantly freezing. We stopped giving water on the really cold days and only give them snow. Works great!

Good to have the chicken expert right here! Well i might get chickens but i will look into it more first. ;) I really like the bigger chickens. I was thinking about brahma, i like all the color varieties. Of couse they are mainly bred for looks. On the other hand, i really like the dwarf varieties too, because i will unlikely keep them for the meat.

I have never had Brahma. Bielefelder have a great dwarf breed. There eggs are almost as big as the big breed.

Hello Simeon thank you for the informative video, I live in Bulgaria and will start the process of trying to purchase the breed Bresse Gauloise, if I can not find these chickens here in Bulgaria would you be able to point me in the right direction of purchasing either chickens or eggs depending on costs of course thanks in advance.

Thanks for the informative video about this breed. Just wondering if the feeder is very inconvenient for the roosters to eat with thier comb hitting the rod.

another great informative video but how is hens doing on inbreeding, after how many generations do you have to get "new" bloood in the flock
@simeonandalex
@simeonandalex 7 лет назад
You should definitely get new blood after 3 generations but we do it more often. We are receiving an order from a new bloodline the beginning of December.

Likely little interest but I have covered my blue-footed SASSO Naked-Neck hens with American Bresse cock birds and thus far, the meat quality, egg production and egg weights have been thrilling!! Can hardly wait to cross the new pullets back to the original Bresse sires.

if egg color doesn't matter... Leghorns, my leghorns laid more eggs than all the hybrids I had, but they loved to escape.

Really Escape? Is Laying most Eggs meant loosing Weight Baggages?

I'm interested in the Bresse after hearing this, but that huge red comb gives me pause because here in northern Colorado winters we can get below zero temps. We have no buildings to winter chickens in. We are on track to build a Justin Rhodes Chickshaw. Any comment on this Simeon?

We get cold winters here too. -13 Farenheit is commen. I have them in a greenhouse tunnel. We haven't had any issues with this with other chicken breeds we have had before. We'll have to see. Check out my chicken floor heating video. That's how we are trying to keep the temp up.

Excellent video. Where did you get your Bresse genetics from? Your birds looks more stocky than mine and would make better meat birds. What carcass weights are you getting at 12 and 16 weeks? Now I need to watch a bunch of your other videos.

I am hatching 24 Breese eggs right here in Excelsior Springs MO. I can't wait to see the chicks. I wonder how well I can introduce them to my True Rhode Island Reds who tend to be a little aggressive. One thing I have read about Breese is the fact they are very docile compared to many other dual purpose birds. Is this your experience?

2021 we can now source both white and blue "Bresse" in Canada. I'm very small and free range so I'm going to go with the blue Bresse and see what happens on a small scale.
