Brown Red Mottled D’Uccles Project

[Egg Snatcher]

How exciting!! Might be the spring sun too.. i have 5 laying right now, just 2 holdouts after their winter break.

I think it is. There for awhile I wasn’t getting any eggs and now I’ll get 1 dozen to 2 dozen eggs a day.

I thinks you did. I was looking on there the other day to maybe order some for the project and I also saw that they too that they no longer offered them.

I breed them! They are probably my friendliest chicks! My pen is actually white/gold and brown/red.

Omg how amazing! I swear there is something to that color.. extra sweet! I have a blue splash cochin who is so grumpy, and i had been warned about black cochins (bantams anyway), so i do think sometimes there is something that sticks with a breed.. so im kind of convinced brown-reds have extra sweetness going on.

Do you have more pics of yours??

Here is Minnie, my brown-red, along with grumpy butt Elsa, and my polkie, Betty.

Your hen isn’t genetically brown red (gold/red birchen), she looks like a mixed partridge color, very interesting!

That’s what I was thinking, still a pretty bird.

If it helps, these are brown red ameraucanas. Same color. Brown red usually seems to refer to a mostly black bird with a red head.. or in the case of males, red hackle and saddle feathers. I couldn't find any online photos of actual brown red d'uccles, but I also found a drawn photo.
