The blue-footed chicken or poulet bleu is a Canadian chicken hybrid bred to resemble the French Poulet de Bresse.[1]

History

The hybrid is attributed to Canadian breeder Peter Thiessen of British Columbia[1] and was intended as an alternative to the French Poulet de Bresse, a chicken product from birds of the Bresse Gauloise breed raised and fed in a specific and traditional way within a legally-defined area in France. It was developed over a period of 15 years starting in the 1980s.[1] The Canadian stock was destroyed in 2004 during the avian flu scare. Some stock in California survived.[4]

Characteristics

The blue-footed chicken is white, with a red comb and steel-blue feet.[2]

Blue-foot chickens are typically slaughtered much later than industrially-produced stock, being left to grow for longer. They require 14 to 16 weeks to reach market size.[3] After slaughter, the chickens may be air-chilled.[2]
