Even though this breed originated from France, its large red combs, flawless white body feathers, and unique blue legs are the color of American pride. Hardy to the cold temperatures and tolerant in the heat, the American Breese can thrive in any weather. Not only are they capable of laying 250 eggs per year, but as a dual-purpose breed that is ready to butcher between 12 to 14 weeks, they are also great for meat. Their calm temperament and excellent foraging skills make this breed an easy family and budget-friendly chicken.
