The Browns Family Farmstead Chickens

The American Bresse (pronounced “Bress”) is the U.S.-adapted version of the famous French Bresse chicken — a breed so prized for its flavor that it has its own AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) protection in France, much like Champagne.

Originally imported and selectively bred in the U.S., American Bresse chickens maintain the same core traits:

• White feathers
   
• Bright red comb
   
• Steel-blue legs
   
• And most importantly — incredible meat quality
   

These birds are often referred to as the “Wagyu of chicken” due to their natural marbling and rich flavor, unmatched by conventional poultry breeds.

Unlike fast-growing commercial broilers, American Bresse chickens:

• Grow more slowly and naturally
   
• Develop intramuscular fat (marbling), resulting in juicy, tender meat
   
• Have firmer texture with real chicken flavor — not bland or watery
   
• Produce superior stock and bone broth, thanks to their dense, mineral-rich bones
   

They thrive in pasture-based systems, allowing them to forage, scratch, and express natural behavior — which directly improves meat quality and animal welfare.
