Black Bresse Chickens - Juveniles & Adults
Our Commitment: Black Bresse or American Black Bresse are bred from multiple pens. We aim to produce the similar sizes and meet similar standards to that of the White Bresse. Our goal is for 7 pound roosters and 5.5 pound hens which balances their size and keeps a full basket of eggs as well. We strive to retain the black feathers (no leakage), white ear lobes, red full combs and blue steel legs they are known for. We are one of very few farms lucky to be a home for Black Bresse. We aim to produce consistent size with every chick that is produced so you have a foundation for your self-sustaining flock. This means buying quality birds one or two times from us, so you have a solid foundation flock to grow with and we've put in the hard work.
Black Bresse grow outs are typically pre-ordered, if you are interested to know when they are estimated to ship/ready for pickup please contact us. We're happy to arrange a specific shipping/ pickup timeframe, we're flexible.
Ages Available:
Black Bresse quintet group - 4-6 weeks old - 4 hens /1 rooster (+1 additional rooster)
Black Bresse Juvenile - 8-12 weeks old - Sexed
Black Bresse Adult - 12 - 16 weeks old - Sexed
Black Bresse Breeders and breeding pairs will be 20+ weeks old.

Black Bresse Chickens are considered the worlds most delicious chicken. Bresse or American Bresse will lay 250 creme colored eggs per year. Bresse are heat and cold tolerant which makes them a contender for the best homestead chicken. Bresse chickens have black feathers, red combs and blue steel legs.

Fabulous Hens! Great Customer Service!!
I ordered (3) BCM hens. They are healthy, happy and so sweet. What a fantastic addition to our flock. I had the opportunity to talk with Colwyn from AZ, and mentioned I was having a some trouble with my teen rooster. He was positive, encouraging and shared some advice that was quick to resolve my issue.I highly recommend AZ.

Great birds
This is my second batch I’ve received from AZ chickens and I couldn’t be happier. The mature hens are great egg layers and the processed males have good meat.

My new girls
The ordering process was quick and easy. I really liked the fact that there was no minimum number of birds I had to purchase since I have a small flock and I only wanted a few more.
The communication between Colwlyn and I was great. He even adjusted the pickup date for me since I was out of town when my girls were ready.
I was able to pick up my girls and bring them home with multiple appointments available.
My girls are settling nicely into their new home and I will recommend AZ Chickens to everyone! Thank you so much!
