Thanks! I would LOVE to get my new incubator up and running. All my hens are laying except for the ones I am trying to breed. Perfect.
 

Doug the Chicken Man, when are the lemons due to hatch? I am so excited to see them!! Wonder how the chicks are colored? Guess we'll find out!

I candled the eggs last night but they were all duds. he may not have gotten the hen that was laying. With the heat we have had this week all 8 hens are laying now.

I am going to collect some more and try them again this weekend.

A friend of mine bought some eggs from me last year and has now got the first chicks from the group.

He indicated that the look good.

I know your frustration, Doug!
 

The awesome milie roo I got at Crossroads last fall only likes one millie girl, which has shot my fertility all to heck. And then he molted....

I put him up for a couple of weeks with only one old hen for company, and put my grandpa roo back in with the ladies. After a couple of weeks of watching grandpa dance for the ladies, Mr Crossroads was fit to be tied. I have him back in woth the ladies now and am hopeful I'll have a better hatch rate.

Hey fellow d'Uccle lovers! Been a while since I have been on here. Just wanted to share my babies. I am going to be offering hatching eggs from them. PM me if you are interested. I do not have a large number of birds, so I will be offering a "purebred bantam assortment" in the auction section of BYC. I can probably do 6+ on these though so I thought I would post here just to give y'all a heads up.

Thanks for the welcome ... No I don't know anyone that has those, I actually know very few people that have D'Uccles other than those who have bought eggs and chicks from me over the years. I have some D'Uccle crosses that look kinda like  the Gold Neck but they are not. I will take more pictures of  my chickens and add them to my photo album ..... all my chicks mature out looking dark red Mille Fleur sometimes a blue Mille Fleur will show up in a hatch and  my other pen that has the 3/4 Mille hens the chicks will look  pure mille fleur or will be white with buff to red lacing over the body or mille fleur pattern.

I am raising some golden neck chicks to breed when they are older! they will be turning 4 weeks here in a couple of days, comparing combs to the other colors I have of the same age it is looking like I have 4 girls, I will give them another week or so before comparing combs on them.
