They're fun. I used to have cockerel, but he became human aggressive, & started attacking me, & my sister.

Spunky's so pretty! I've never actually owned a d'Uccle, myself, but I did see this absolutely gorgeous variety called Silver Mille Fleur last year at the Ohio Nationals and I've been in love with it since.

I think I'm going to have to get some of these one day.

My Pal has little Bantams that look like Barred Rocks but I don't remember the name of the breed..

Hmm, well, there are Barred Rock bantams, so maybe that's what they are? I know there are Cuckoo OEGBs, too, and Barred Cochins, though the foot feathering would be the giveaway on those... I think d'Anvers come in a cuckoo / barred variety, too? Any other details about them that you can remember, like comb type or whether they're bearded or not?

No he was calling them Bantam Barred Rocks. I thought he was clueless..
I guess that's what he has..
