About the Black Bresse Gauloise
The black Bresse de Louhans wears sleek glossy-black plumage over the same blue legs and red comb as its white cousin, recognised by the Poultry Club of Great Britain. It is noted as the largest-egged of the colours, with hens laying white eggs that can reach around 70g, while retaining the breed's prized table qualities.
