Ever Smoked Your Chicken?

I smoke our meat rabbits and heritage turkeys. I actually put the turkey on the rack above my rabbit (which is in a foil pan to help catch all the drippings from the turkey) and smoke them low and slow for hours. I do flip the rabbit once in the process. But I was thinking this might be a great option for these American Bresse chickens.
Have you ever tried that?
I have not yet started my flock, but we hope to get some soon and begin this journey. Just looking at the cooking differences, since like our heritage turkeys, cooking heritage chickens varies from cooking the birds found in the grocery store.
Overheard...
"I processed my first batch of Bresse... Today I roasted one according (somewhat) to the recipe posted on Ambresse. It was delicious! Tender, moist and succulent... So happy I chose this breed! (B.E., MN, 12/11/2024).
"Your site has the first accurate information about American Bresse chickens that I have seen in English. Thanks for your diligent work" (L. Wooton, NC, 12/17/2024).

This website focuses on the American Bresse Chicken, along with other chicken-related topics. Due to the protections given by France to the Bresse breed, it is important to consistently differentiate when necessary between the Bresse chicken breed of France and North American chickens of direct French Bresse descent. For this reason, we call them American Bresse chickens, repetitively, throughout the website. You might notice that this can start to feel clunky at times. So, in order to write more fluidly, we also use a couple contracted terms to reference American Bresse chickens: “Am Bresse,” or ABC (American Bresse Chickens). Our keystrokes spell out ABC or Am Bresse, but our heads see American Bresse. We hope you will see the same.
