Belgian D Uccle

This breed was developed in Belgium by Michel Van Gelder, a fancier who lived in the small town of Uccle. He crossed the Bearded D'Anver with feather footed bantams in an attempt to get a booted bird with low posture, a compact and asymmetrical body, a full beard, and a single comb.

Pros: Docile, friendly, very cute with boots and beards, they can handle cold NE temperatures
Cons: Slow moving, easy target for predators, no other cons

They are a very well known popular bird. I havent found a single thing a dislike about th breed. Theyre easy to tell from other breeds and have great individual personalities from my experience. My Mille rooster is the smartest chicken I have. Very aware and alert for predators at ALL times. D'uccle roosters are so excepting and fatherly to the young

Pros: Can be very friendly, "cool" appearance.
Cons: Lots of "mille fleur d'uccles" out there that aren't really d'uccles.

My little bantam chickens with their "pants" on.  Everyone that sees them says how much they like them...I have mille fleur variety...some say they look like they have a cheetah pattern.  Best breed I've had by far.  Will always be my favorite.

Breed Details:

Belgian D'uccles have very good dispositions, being both very friendly and calm. They can be flightly so they may need a tall fence to keep them in the yard. D'uccles are very good foragers and will do well free ranging. The hens will go broody and are very good mothers, but will produce few chicks in a clutch because they cannot cover more than a few eggs.
