MEAT LINE – All hens in this coop have tested heterozygous for recessive white and are paired with a non–recessive white rooster. These hens come from one of the strongest Bresse breeding programs in the U.S., but until offspring are saved back and tested, this line is recommended for meat birds or pets only.
