Beautiful bantams: D’Uccle discussion

[Cyprus]

Do you having any showing tips for d’uccles

If you can, try to train them to posture and fan their tails. Judges are looking for that. It's also good to get them used to being handled.

Yes are hen Betty thinks she is always at a show but our pullets don’t have nice posture yet

Do you put anything in their combs, wattles and legs

I put Vaseline on their combs for shine but nothing on their wattles or legs. I do wash feet and foot feathers a day before show so they look better.

Yay got my Bantams picked up today so my Mille flur's will not be alone any more They will have ten or twelve ( they put in extras just not sure of which breeds.) half and half mille flur and porcelin's. Hoping as we all usually do for a high percentage of pullet to cockerel time will tell. Here they are along with 15 plus silkie and chochins I also got.
