4 week old SWEET D’Uccle cockerels to rehome in NC

[Corgisbunniesnchicks]

Piedmont Triad area NC—willing to travel a bit to give these guys a GOOD home. We have fallen in love with them but can’t keep roosters. Breeder will take them back but they will go in the stew pot and that is not an option!! We have 2 Mille Fleur and 1 Porcelain. They are show quality. We have handled them every day—even took them camping with us last week! I wish I could keep them!

Replying only to move this up. I love nothing more than a nice d’Uccle cockerel though..they are such good boys. but I have too many as is i hope they find a good home!!

 

[Corgisbunniesnchicks]

Thank you!! I spend way too much time with them—getting even more attached—but they are such sweeties! I’m afraid I’m going to get my heart broken

d’Uccles are mildly addicting I think.I keep collecting and hatching them...and I don’t plan on stopping was the breeder you bought them from a breeder of show quality birds? If you can claim they come from quality stock then people may be more interested? Their combs look nice and straight and their beards seem pretty full.

Yes! He’s shown all over the US but mainly on the east coast. He’s getting up in years now and he and his wife used to show together but she died of cancer a few years ago. He’s been very helpful in giving me info to get my 5 yo daughter involved in showing.

That’s awesome!! What’s his name, I’m on the east coast as well!

Ah those sound beautiful.. too bad I’m only breeding blues I’m limited on space so I’m saving room for birds of those colors ya know? I have a couple mille fleur and porcelains also for show though.
