Pros: Beautiful, Heat Tolerant, Friendly, Social

Cons: Bad Layers, Fight with Others

I have had the pleasure of owning a small flock of Belgian d'Uccle for about one year.

Only a single rooster survived up til now, but along the way I purchased 4 more,

plus 2 Porcelain colored. (All the rest are Mille Fleurs)

My flock have always grown up loving people, and I love them for every reason that

I could love them for. However, the hens don't make very good layers, so for

production, these don't quite cut it.

i have four belgian d'uccles (1 cockeral and 3 hens and )my hens lay ill put som pics on my profile
I had one hen who was a laying machine from age 6 months to her death at 2.5 years. She got pneumonia from the wild birds.
Biggest problem I found was because she was small, she was the first one to get attacked by predators and other chickens. She was small and docile. I would recommend getting several hens and a rooster to protect them if you are going to keep D'uccles.
