Beth, I'm happy your hatch turned out so well!

I have a trio of Mille Fleur D'Uccles that are about 17 weeks old. They'll be going to live in Kentucky with Cetawin next month. I prefer clean legged breeds, generally, though the D'Uccles are adorable.

Oh, and SIX Cochin babies.....my DGD and I were thrilled!!!

Very cool!

great looking chicks, I can never tell chick breeds apart when they are this little.

The hardest were the NHs and the Buff Orpingtons. When the wings came in, the patterning in the NHs made it easier. I've had NH chicks before, plain yellow chicks till those wing feathers grow in. Then, there are all the light colored EEs and a possible Ameraucana of the wheaten family that are pretty much the same color but with poufy cheeks. In a week or so, they should all be pretty well different looking.

I hope that you get an Ameraucana out of the bunch. Hope my hatch is as successful as yours!

Yes they are adorable. I have three of the Porcelain D'Uccles.

I love porcelain anything! The D'Anvers are so cute and friendly.

Do you like the D-Anvers better than the D-Uccles? My D-Uccle roos are kind of pushy. I ended up with 2 roos and only 1 hen.

I've had both boys attack me. One is way worse than the other and he may have to go find another home. My little hen is the absolute friendliest, sweetest little gal. I've looked at the D-Anvers, but not gotten any.

My D'Uccles are super skittish, not really friendly, though they are starting to allow me to touch them on occasion and will finally eat out of my hand. They are in the coop with my older hens so they can't push anyone around, LOL. My D'anvers are only 2 weeks old so I don't know how they will interact, but they will be sharing their own coop with a Silver Phoenix pullet and an Ameraucana/Sumatra hen who is half blind.
