Can do that for sure

Yes certainly a lot of comb. He’s such a lovely little guy. In two minds about keeping him. Council rules state roosters may be kept but if complaints are made will need to be removed

Thanks. Yes it’s hard when know nothing of breed. I have a Japanese Bantam everyone said was a cockerel based on development and what they knew from their breeds that weren’t JB’s and I found a Japanese Bantam group which deals with that breed only. Was told it was in fact a pullet and it is in...

hey all. Just wanted one last attempt at sexing Eggna my Belgium D’uccle. Is approx 6 weeks old now. Feathers have almost all come through and the beards coming out now also. Don’t want to get rid of if not a cockerel so all help would be appreciated

If you look closely you will notice some white/cream speckles around crop area. He also has quite a few growing through around what I’d guess could be called back and shoulders. Was a pure black baby but as getting his big boy feathers he’s starting to speckle.

Yay. He is such a lovely little guy. Loves his cuddles and gets a bit jealous if I’m petting one of his sisters (australorp 9wk and Japanese Bantam 6wk) so he will give me a quick peck to say dad I want more back rubs lol.

I don’t know much As I’m also new but hope this pic helps

Also has some white speckled on back

Would this be said beard coming through?

Eh who knows. That’s what it was sold to me as. Anything’s possible

Ok cool. thanks again. I had gotten 3 babies originally (2 Australorp, 1 isa) and 2 were cockerels so traded them for two younger babies (Belgium D’uccle and Japanese Bantam). Then I got two point of lays recently after it looking like the D’uccle was at least a cockerel. The Japanese and...

Awesome. Thanks. Can you confirm that duccles don’t have an overly loud crow also? I’d love to keep him but if he’s too loud I’ll be made to rehome him. Have heard compared to say Rhode Island’s and other large breeds they’re a lot quieter and barely noticeable

Going by what pet store told me maybe 7 weeks. I know it’s bit young to tell still but thought I’d ask anyway

Getting lots of mixed feed back about my Belgium D’uccles sex. Anyone keen to assist with answer that knows the breed well and how they develop?

Someone also mentioned this so I have changed a few things around and hopefully we will soon find out. The first egg was left in door way of a house basically on the floor they had three babies in there (all under 9 weeks) so the other point of lay girl was busy harassing them but not the babies...
