    I have some mixed bantams, roos and hens, that I need to get rid of. Crosses between Silver fawn Old English, D'Uccle, Lemon Spangled hamburg, and Silkie. most of these birds are carrying the dun or lemon/cream gene. Free pairs, one roo, one hen. Must take a roo with a hen.

    the cream gene

    Ideal Hatchery calls the entire bird "Silver Fawn Old English Game". It refers to the dun gene, but doesn't differentiate between one or two doses. Two doses is khaki.

    She will get more spots as she molts. Fuzzybuttlove, I don't have just d'uccles in a breeding pen. All are mixed in together until I get several nice birds I want to breed from.

    I agree with Paris_r, he's a gold neck that has the "Holes", which allow his base color to come thru. Like an odd black feather, he just let a whole bunch of feathers thru. it also looks like he has dun, instead of blue. I think this bird has some different genes at play than in a normal...

    He's absolutely gorgeous! Half millie-half gold neck. That's a one in a million chance because the white would have to have "holes" to allow the millie coloring to show thru. I would guess about a year oooorr really old.

    Vaseline in an excellent idea. Sometimes the medicated chick feed gives rise to sticky bums, so I grind up the corn and go heavier on that than the medicated. It tends to dry them up in a day. Your picture looks like it's lacking a tiny little diaper....

    D'uccle Thread

    Here's my bit of insight, for what it's worth. Each farm has its own little germs running about, and the birds that are raised there develop immunity. But when new birds come in, they come in with their own set of "bugs". One or the other won't be prepared for the new bugs and die. Also, some...

    As a chick, about the only thing you can check for is feathering all the way up to the middle toe. After that, it's a crap shoot. If the parents are on site, check them out for wattles, etc.

    Chocolate projects?

    That would explain this latest chick... He/she didn't have the dun down, nor the chocolate. I've eliminated blue from my birds. It's hard to see under that bulb, but the color matches the beige silkie. I'm guessing this will be a female, since I no longer have a choc male, although I...

    Okay, so update on my creams. I am getting closer to isolated the cream with no darkening agents on their wings, such as in these two.... My 2nd gen light fawn (cream-based) And my first happy accident, which I have not been able to duplicate for two years. Until now...

    Here's today in natural light. you can see the difference between just a diluted buff and the lemon. Sure wish I knew what extra gene is causing that, and why it was so darned hard to come by.

    Post your citron - lemon - silver D'uccle projects, especially chick photos!

    Two years later and I have finally hatched out two bright lemon birds. I kept getting a pale version of peach/buff, but no lemon. I was aiming for this... and kept getting this... .But the lemon roo has finally done his homework and passed on two gorgeous little lemon chiffon babies...
