White Bresse Chickens, or Bresse Chickens, are in high demand because, like beef, they can have marbled meat. Think 'Wagyu' of chicken. This chicken really tastes like no other — imagine the juiciest grilled chicken breast ever.
Our Commitment: With our White Bresse Chickens, or American White Bresse, our goal is to average 7-8 pound roosters and 5.5 pound hens to meet the proposed American Bresse Standards. This balances their size and keeps a full basket of eggs as well. We strive to retain the white feathers (no leakage), white ear lobes, red full combs, and blue steel legs they are known for. We are one of the very few farms lucky to be a home for White Bresse Chickens that aims to produce consistent size with every chick. Consistency in their size means food you can count on for your family. We aim for a consistent and reliable growth rate with our stock, which gives you a foundation for a self-sustaining flock. This means buying quality birds one or two times from us, so you have a solid foundation, consistent size, and food from your flock to count on.
White Bresse grow outs are pre-ordered. After you order we begin to grow out and sort the best groups for breeding. If you would like to arrange or ask about a specific timeframe contact us to find out an estimated time when your birds will come home.

Happy and Healthy White Leghorn Chicks!
Thank you for the wonderful service. Our white leghorn chicks were received happy and healthy and active. They arrived in CA one day after shipment and were safely packaged. We gave food, water, and heat immediately and 1.5 weeks later, they are super active, always hungry, and trying out their sprouting wing feathers. They're also doing great with our other chick breeds of similar ages. Thank you!!! Your service when I made an initial order error was much appreciated.

Hemp bedding vs straw: hemp wins
Between straw or hemp bedding, we find hemp to be the best. First of all, it’s tidier than straw. Since we have a small area for our coop, that is a nice thing. For the chickens it’s a nice thing, I’d imagine, as the claims that hemp helps controls odor must be true, as there just isn’t any to speak of! The 33lb bale of hemp bedding is conveniently delivered to our door.
Recommend!

I always have good experiences with Az Chickens. We buy Bresse chickens and quail chicks. We have averaged only one death per shipment, otherwise
they arrive healthy. We will continue to use Az Chickens to resupply our flock.
