Adorable! 

Moonchild and Lady Chickadee those chicks are awesome! Moonchild, are those blue mille fleurs? I have one that same color and after looking online, that's the closest color I could come up with. Lady Chickadee, what do you think yours will be? That looks like a special little chick!

This one's feathers are coming in very beautifully. I'm hoping for a girl. 

 

feathers look light in color like a gray (blue) i would love to see how they turn out. i've been looking for black d'uccle for a project i have in mind 

Are d'uccles always bantams?

I'll post more pictures once she/he gets more feathers in. The d'Uccle eggs I have in my incubator(eggs from the same trio) go into lock down in a week, hopefully I'll have a variety of colors.I accidentally cracked one of the eggs but I put clear coat of nail polish over the dent in it and its developing fine.

Thanks! I have no idea what it will turn out to look like but I'm excited to see what it will look like as it grows up. 

teddi crystal (the porcelain) laid her first egg today :D my lil girl is so happy her chicken laid an egg and both my kids are wanting to incubate the eggs already lol.

Hello everyone, I can't remember if I posted in here telling you guys that I changed my username.  I was thebutress (that was actually my husbands account).  So I made my own since he was getting all my emails.  Anyways, I took some more pics of my little flock. He is 3.5 weeks today.  I know everyone thought he was a roo last time.  I actually think I see some pink at the base of his little comb now.  I was hoping it was imagination, but...I think it really is there...

That's a cute little boy. I love the awkward stage when their real feathers start coming in.

I really want him to be a girl ;) I think I will probably have to find a home for him.  We love him to death, but everyone is turning into roos!  Agh, our luck! Next time I will buy many more at first ;)
