What the heck!? I have tried keeping D'Uccles like 3 or 4 times. Up in a pen off the ground, in a ground pen, etc. I CAN NOT keep a D'Uccle alive for more than a few months. My D'Uccle/Silkie mix is doing great and is even sitting on eggs!

Newbie here! I am in the NWA region and will be looking to get four chicks (the max in Springdale city limits). When do people have them up for sale? I rather buy locally than from some company. They have to be hens as well, rooster are illegal in city limits. I am looking for an Easter egger, rir, barred rock and/or a silver laced or blue wyandotte. Thanks!

Oh no. I love MF D'Uccles. They love runs with low roosts and they do prefer a wind free environment. They can with stand the cold to a point but not the wind or rain.

I know. I don't know what I did wrong. I really don't want to try D'Uccles again. I have lost about 7 very different D'Uccles. I miss my little Milly and Little Blue.

Welcome to BYC & the arkansas thread. There is also an Arkansas Swap thread. You might try posting there as well as trying FarmerJon as Jim said.
