Wow, nice birds! The coloring looks very good.
My d'Uccle roo was also a snot when he was younger He was frequently biting us and tried to mate with the pullets a lot. But after he turned like seven months old, he started to be a real gentleman, with us and with his girls. Hope your roo does...
Those look like Porcelain chicks to me. Hope you have some good experiences with them! I have a couple d'Uccles from TSC and they are nice birds, especially the cock, who is a total knockout

Best of success, though!

Nice Bilbo is a pretty rooster, get him some girls and breed him!
Yeah, I've thought about breeding, but I currently am considering starting a breeding project for a very rare and endangered breed, the Kraienkoppe. We have a female White d'Uccle, but she had Necrotic Enteritis when...
Great thread, everyone! I have a few pics to upload of my gorgeous Mille Fleur d'Uccle cockerel. He may not be perfect, but his colors are striking! His name is Bilbo (so called because of his feathered feet, resembling the feet of Hobbits in The Lord of the Rings).
Tell me what you...
