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: Adorable Charlie Chaplain Walk, kid friendly, beautiful
Cons: chases and will peck our small family dog, can fly over most fences, a bit too loud for small urban yards

My entire family really loved these gorgeous little chickens.  We had 2, they have lots of personality and mine were a bit too brave.  They would chase our little white dog up to the back door or peck him if they were out at the same time.  They also got louder as they grew, making lots of noise to me when I would come out side.  They would let my kids pick them up and pet them.  They were very accepting of other birds and made a black Langshan their adopted sister, they were constantly by each others side. They will fly over certain fences and made it hard to keep them off my deck and out of certain areas of the garden.  But they are a wonderful chicken to have as pets.

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.
