    Springs Run Farm in Marshall, VA Our first chicks came to live at Springs Run in July of 2011. They were a pair of Mille Fleur d'Uccles that we discovered at a local poultry swap here in Virginia. I had researched the bantam breeds I was interested in, so was excited to find the d'Uccles that...

    d'Uccle color genetics

    I will be very interested to hear what you get! I have spoken to the breeder of the black mottled and she mentioned the gold bleed into the black, but I know there are many project birds that are being used to effect a certain color outcome. It's all very interesting.

    The Wyandotte Thread

    I've been enjoying everyone's photos as well, so had to share a couple of my new bantam partridge wyandottes. This is my first year with chickens and I'm pretty excited about it. Victoria laid her first eggs this week so I'm hoping they'll be fertile to try out my new little...

    D'uccle Thread

    Quote: Could you tell me who your breeder is? Do they have a web site? Her BYC name is peachick and her website is: http://www.signaturefeathers.com/ She's very nice to work with and seems to know quite a bit about the color genetics. I believe she has also auctioned off eggs on BYC as well.

    Quote: Experience counts for very little when it comes to pronunciation, I've heard old timers call them "dee-uncles" and that makes me crazy. There isn't even an N in the name. You're going to hear every possible arguable way of saying it, so I figure pronounce it the way you want to. I...
