Oregon Bresse

09/26/2021

Assessing 16 week old Bresse pullets this morning. I sorted through a group of ten to see if one would stand out as a keeper. The winner is in the first pen on the right.

I chose the bird with the most breadth overall, the best spacing from breast bone to pelvic arch and the best spacing and structure of the pelvic bones. With all that going for her it's not a surprise that she also turned out to be the heaviest of the group.

Here's a video I like that demonstrates a helpful "checklist" for poultry breeding stock selection: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZaHQV22zqM

Meet the flock! Follow along with Oregon Bresse as I develop my flock of these beautiful and useful birds. I'll be breeding with the specific goals of structure and meat production in mind.
