OTHER: These unique crossbred chicks are a pairing of Bresse and Ayam Cemani, resulting in striking birds often referred to as “Zombie” chicks due to their unusual coloration. Appearance can vary, ranging from lighter chicks with darker features to deeper pigmentation influenced by fibro melanistic genetics. Temperament is generally calm and manageable, benefiting from the typically docile nature of the Bresse mothers, though individual personalities may vary. As a cross, these birds are not bred to a standard and should not be considered show or breeding stock.
