Are these two Mille Fleur d'Uccles cockerels?

[Alexandra33]

Your definitely right on with Piranha, but you are right it is hard to tell on Barracuda, although i'm leaning more toward cockerel.

Thanks for the input, Cherry!

Is your Porcelain a pullet or cockerel?

These are my Mille Fleur d'uccle. The females is pretty chill. The roosters not so much, every time I walk outside and turn my back to them they run up on me and grab onto my legs. I am in the process of trying to find a new home for them, I don't want to get rid of them; but don't know how to stop the attacks. The roosters also grab my tiny dog on his back and peck at her. I did finally after having these for a year get a egg from my hen. How do I stop the mean behavior or it that their nature?

My goodness, this thread must've been SO buried!

Long story short, both d'Uccles turned out to be adorable little cockerels.

It actually took me almost a year to figure out "less developed" boy, a.k.a. Cooties, is indeed male.

What a stumper that stinker was! He never grew pointed saddle or hackle feathers, strange.

Pictures! Sadly, Piranha became aggressive once maturity hit, therefore he's no longer with us.

These are a couple of the last I took.


That being said, I still have Cooties!

He's an adorable little critter.

Wow, Cooties is stunning! Thanks..I have a new mille fleur d'uccle chick, now 3 days old. I am going to use your baby pics as a reference as this one grows....
ps now how to keep autocorrect from calling it a mile flour uncle.......

christinethemac, Very cute they are with their feathers growing in! If you look at the OP's pics on p 1 of this thread, hers both had a lot of comb at 2 !/2 wks. A lot more than yours.....I'd love to see updates as yours grow....

Not possible!

A question - are mine Mille Fleur D'uccles or something else? QC Supply sold them as "Mille Fleur Bantams". I've been reading something about D'uccles are bearded. I don't see any beards on mine.

Thanks

The beards won't really show until they feather, but you can kind of see that they have puffy little chins/cheeks out of chick fluff. Look like D'Uccles to me!
