Hello chicken people!
It’s too early to tell for sure, but take your guesses! Is my six week old porcelain duccle a hen or a roo?
(pictured next to our six week old bantam cochin roo)
I received a D’uccle with mild crossbeak (and weirdly, some missing toenails) from a friend.She was hatched sometime in February, but has yet to lay an egg.She is scared of my standard hens and mostly stays in the coop.I’m going to try to get some more bantams for her and my bantam roo.I know...
Hey everyone, just wanted some assistance please. I have a new D’uccle rooster but he has been only using one foot from day one. No sign of bumble or any infection I don’t think foot is nice and clean. But at the base of one of the foot feathers that’s still in its casing there is a black growth...
First time having baby chicks, I got 3 random furry feet bantams hoping they were silkies but they all have 4 toes so clearly not lol. Wondering what breeds they are and maybe genders? Obviously nothing is certain til they’re grown but the guessing and watching is part of the fun. I *think* I’ve...
Can I get some help identifying the breed and color of the 4 Littles I got?
I believe #2 is a d'uccle, but I am unsure of color (maybe Mille Fleur?).The other 3 I believe to be cochin bantams but I am not sure and also I don't know what color they are either.
Is #4 a red cochin bantam? (Pretty...

I would love to learn more about color genetics and have had a hard time narrowing down info. If I crossed my black mottled d'uccle hen with a porcelain rooster, what would the chick's color likely be?
What about a mille fleur x black mottled?
Thanks in advance!
Hello! I've been lurking for a while now because I find this forum so informative, but finally got some chicks of my own - my first ever! They are all porcelain d'uccles, and their hatch date is around March 24-26, which would make them around 4 weeks old. I think one is a definite rooster -...
Got 2 cute Barbu d'Uccle bantam cockerels (young roosters) that are just over 3 months old, that I purchased with a variety of bantam straight run chicks from a Texas hatchery. One d'Uccle is a golden neck (though he looks white) and one is a mille fleur. All were vacinnated for Merek's at the...
