🐓 5 Reasons to Choose Healthy Day-Old Bresse Black Chicks

The French Bresse is a renowned heritage breed prized for its tender texture, rich flavor, and elegant table presentation.
In France, the original Bresse carries protected AOC status—much like Champagne—which speaks to its culinary reputation.
At Southern Rise Farms, our Healthy Day-Old Bresse Black Chicks are selected for vigor, early growth,
and dependable performance on pasture (often searched as Black Bresse Chicks).

• 1. Culinary Excellence – unmatched flavor and tenderness
• 2. Dual-Purpose Value – premium table birds and steady egg production
• 3. Fast Growth – efficient weight gain with balanced meat-to-bone ratio
• 4. Homestead Adaptability – calm temperament and strong foraging instincts
• 5. Proven Genetics – from NPIP Certified breeding stock

💉 Vaccination Add-Ons (Optional)

By default, Bresse Black Chicks ship unvaccinated, which many closed-flock keepers prefer.
If you want added protection, select vaccinations at checkout:

• Marek’s Disease – widely used core protection
• Infectious Bronchitis (IB) – helps support respiratory health

If selected, vaccinations are administered on hatch day prior to shipping. Choose options under “Add-On Vaccinations.”

📦 Backorder & Fulfillment Process

Availability for Healthy Day-Old Bresse Black Chicks varies by hatch and is managed on a
backorder basis:

• Place your order for the Black color (sold individually, straight run)
• Your order is queued for the next suitable hatch
• After we finalize hatch counts and fill prior obligations, we allocate remaining Black chicks to backorders in the order received
• We email you when your order is scheduled to ship

Tip: Many customers maintain a rolling backorder to receive chicks across consecutive hatches.

🐥 Brooding & Early Care

Prepare your brooder before your Bresse Black Chicks arrive:

• 95°F the first week; reduce ~5°F per week thereafter
• Clean, dry bedding; draft-free with good ventilation
• 20–22% protein chick starter and constant access to fresh water

Once fully feathered, Black Bresse Chicks transition well to pasture. Early, supervised time on grass
can promote hardiness and natural foraging.
