already trying to escape


the d'Uccle gang

Pretty sure those are not D'Uccles. I've gotten three assortments of D'Uccles from Ideal and none that look like that...the MF would be primarily buff with black, same with buff columbian, the brown-red would be all black, and all the other varieties do not have black in them...maybe they are Cochin?

The black and white ones are mottled. they are D'uccles.

To my knowledge, Ideal doesn't sell mottled D'Uccles...?

Quote: well they seem to have a sulton in the box too. it was a one day special jan 30 2013 ..will make a time line of these chicks from day old to 1 year. So we shall see but someone on here told me to look for blue legs and the blue one and black ones have the blue eggs.

The top ones look like either white D'uccles or Sultans, and the black and white ones are Brown Red D'uccles.

It's possible the two in the back with the brown cheeks are D'Uccles, but it's hard to see them in the photo. The larger black and white ones with the white cheeks are something else for sure. If anyone has pics of brown red D'Uccle chicks pls post for comparison, I couldn't find any good ones through google, and the chicks I have are much older than these and never had any while on them at all.

The white chick in the top pic could be a white D'Uccle, but if so it's probably going to end up being a booted bantam, as it doesn't appear to have a beard.
