The American Breese is a fantastic dual-purpose chicken. They mature quickly with adults weighing up to 8 1/2 pounds. They have the reputation for being the best tasting chicken in the world because of their potential for fat-marbling throughout the meat. They produce on average 250 large eggs annually and are excellent foragers that do not tend toward broodiness. If you are looking for a sustainable dual-purpose bird the American Breese is an excellent choice.
