    D'uccle Thread

    Morning everyone! As for my little hen (blue millie or not)- a better quality picture might have shown that she does have some faint (blue?) darker markings coming in or her neck. They are fairly young (about 13 wks) so from what I have read their color still has a lot of changing to do. Will...

    Pictures of adult rooster and hens- breed?

    Here are pictures of my free-range chickens. I have no idea what they are- the original rooster (father to this one) and hens came from across the street to my farm about three years ago. Thanks for any input- I know these are not the best pictures, but I cannot pick any of these up.

    D'uccle Thread

    Thanks Nancy for all the feedback. I understand what you mean about other reasons to cull, I just kind of made an assumption (which I know I shouldn't do). Trust me I have had to downsize several times as my other chickens are completely free-range and VERRRRY GOOD at hiding there eggs. Last...

    D'uccle Thread

    Hi everyone- I just have a few more questions about my D' Uccles and figured i would ask here, instead of keeping it going on the "what breed/gender" thread. Thanks everyone for your help! Yes, they are young (was told 10 weeks when I got them about three weeks ago) the roo was just starting to...

    What breed, and color?

    Thanks everyone for your help! Yes, they are young (was told 10 weeks when I got them about three weeks ago) the roo was just starting to crow- he's definitely got that down. Also, I don't think they are of the greatest quality as 1) they were just given to me and 2) they do not have feathering...

    What breed, and color?

    They all came from the same hen and rooster (so I was told) so..... I will try to get a better picture of the roo. Glad to see on here that they are a friendly breed, since i was worried how hard it would be to get them used to me since I didnt have them from hatchling. What about color? And...

    What breed, and color?

    Hi all. Here are two pics (sorry about quality- trying to get a good pic on my cell phone) of some chickens I got about two weeks ago. The woman who gave them to me told me they were Mille Fleur, but I see that that is a color. Are they Booted or D' Uccle? Have one roo and three hens. Had...

    10 week old roo injured- need advice!

    UPDATE- late last night as I made my last check on the chick, I really thought I would end up culling today- sounded much worse and had made no attempt to eat or drink on his own. However this morning he seems a tad bit better, so I am going to continue doing what I am doing and give him another...

    10 week old roo injured- need advice!

    Thanks ddawn, yes culling is exactly what I am thinking, for several reasons. I just got them, so not attached (although it breaks my heart regardless), they were free, the others appear normal, and even though I feel that whatever is going on is related to his injuries I REALLY do NOT want to...

    10 week old roo injured- need advice!

    The Chickens' Maid- No, sorry, I cannot post a picture. But I just got home after being gone for about three hours and now he is gasping for air! You would think with all the chickens I have I would know what is going on, but I have been blessed with very hearty/healthy bantys and for three...

    10 week old roo injured- need advice!

    I just got five new chicks yesterday (given to me) was told they are Millefleur, which I now see is a color- based on size of Adult pair where they came from they are either Belgian D Uccle or Booted. I received two roos and three hens, and was told the one roo had been hobbling on one leg. When...

    Hi from the south!
