The only one worth singing about is the Poulet de Bresse. This French hen is carefully reared in a tiny area of France and is famed for her blue feet. All Poulets de Bresse carry a little metal tag about their leg when sold to show that they are authentic. What a wonderful, wonderful taste they have!
The story of this noble bird, Poulet de Bresse with its steel blue feet and bright white plumage, begins in 1591 when the animal was cited for the first time in the registers of Bourg-en-Bresse. It seems that Henry IV, having stopped off at Bresse after an accident with his carriage, tasted the bird’s meat and wanted it as a fixed item on his menu. Poulet de Bresse are raised according to strict government controls in Bourg-en-Bresse, France. They are considered by many to be the "4th gastronomic wonder of the world."

Of course, the United States version will only be a feeble imitation of the real French hen.

It's a hen from France. You can always tell the french hens from other hens because french hens wear berets and drink lots of wine.

I'm French and actually didn't know about that! I thought you were asking for the translation. I've learnt something today! Will definitely try to eat one, one day! I might have already, actually... You never know... Thanks for asking that question.
