The Piemontese chickens, with their rustic demeanor and robust constitution, stand as a testament to resilience in the face of adversity. Blessed with a rapid growth rate and a commendable meat production, these hardy creatures thrive in outdoor environments, embodying the spirit of freedom and vitality.

At the age of 112 days, these chickens are deemed ripe for slaughter, although notable yields can also be achieved as early as 70 days, with an average weight of approximately 1.5 kg. Their meat, renowned for its quality and flavor, remains exceptional even when raised and fed extensively, a testament to their inherent excellence.

Yet, it is not only in their meat production that Piemontese chickens excel. Their laying prowess shines brightest in the spring and summer months, with an average production of 180-200 rosy-shelled units weighing between 55-60 g. per egg. It is no wonder, then, that they are sought after for the prestigious "Cappone di Morozzo" production.

Adorned in plumage of buff hue, Piemontese chickens come in three distinct varieties: black-tailed buff, white-tailed buff, and blue-tailed buff. The Cuneo strain, in particular, boasts nearly red earlobes, adding a touch of vibrancy to their appearance.

In stature, they are of moderate size, sporting a single comb with 4-6 points that stands erect in the male and folds gracefully in the hen. Their red wattles and red-veined white ear lobes add to their striking visage, while a yellow, robust beak hints at their strength and vigor. With ample breast and shoulders and yellow skin, they present a picture of robust health and vitality.

Their tails, whether in the erect, long, and square form of the hen or the varied hues of the cock, add a touch of elegance to their overall appearance. Indeed, the Piemontese chicken stands as a symbol of resilience, vitality, and timeless beauty in the world of poultry farming.
