Mille Fleur D'Uccle Sex

[artvandolay]

Hello,

Does anyone have an idea of what this one is?

I'm hoping not a cockerel, but I feel it may be one. The bigger comb than the others from this clutch, but waddles are smaller so I am not 100% and I've never had these before so I don't know what traits to look at.

Thanks!

That's 100% a cockerel.

That is what I thought, but it's my only standard-looking or traditional Mille Fleur so I was hoping it wasn't. Here are the others with it. I don't know how you'd call these others.

The other 3 are pullets. The colors are Mille Fleur, Porcelain, & Birchen.

Wait just a darn second!!!

Millie Fleur is a variety of D'uucle? Is that what I am gathering here?

Get another side or top shot of that blue one for me please.

It looks like the one they told me was called porcelain here that I shared on this thread.

I haven't been able to see anything called birchen though.

He is def a lavender color. But he hates me. My wife can pick him right up. They are chickens that live in a special coop in her garden. And she loves rhem

These are the best I can do for pics.

Yes Mille Fleur is a color of d’Uccles Mille Fleur can be found on other breeds too! Like bantam Cochins and d’Anvers!

You do have a cockerel Mille Fleur though

I agree with everyone else that you have 3 pullets and one cockerel! I love D’uccles! They have the cutest little personalities and make sounds that don’t sound like chickens lol.

Mille Fleur means thousand flowers in French. I didn't know about the D'uccle region of Belgium which is where it comes from and Barbu is bearded in Dutch. I didn't know there were other colors until I hadt his clutch, but I guess they're not all Mille Fleurs, but rather D'uccles, but I did know that not all are bearded.

We have a self blue and Mille fluer (which I now know are different). The self blue is a rooster and he is the most obnoxious crower of all the roosters here (and we have a lot). Obviously not as loud as the big boys, but he starts right at 5am And is non stop for an hour plus.

Not sure if it is a breed thing or not. They are our first pair. Both just turned a year old.

The most obnoxious breed are black sex links. My old roo was a BSL and he wouldnt stop crowing ever period.
