What do you breed in order to get the citron d'uccle's ??

 

[Lorilyn Farms]

You can use the silver or gold gene, or Di or Champagne. Apparently, I have one of those genes already in my young stock. i also just hatched my first chocolate d'uccle!

Read the whole thread, and I don't know how you can remember all those genes!

Anyway, congratulations on the chocolate D'uccle!!!

What a pretty color.

So if I have a Mille fleur. What should I get to breed him with?

Sorry I'm new to this.

What color chick do you want?

I'm trying to get silver laced D'uccles. I have a silver Sebright cockerel that I want to breed to a D'uccle hen. I have porcelain, and Mille fleur. Whats the right one to use?

 

[Lorilyn Farms]

I don't know anything about lacing, so I really can't answer that question. You could always do what I do and just lock ALL my hens in with the rooster and hatch them all. You just never know what you're going to get. I didn't know I had a rooster carrying chocolate!
And on another note, I did just hatched out a lemon d'uccle, as well, although the bird is solid, no pattern. Probably silver based.

Okay, I'll cross both of them with the cockerel, and see what we come up with! Oh, and I also have a white hen, maybe I'll cross him with her too!
