Gorgeous!!!! I love him!!I currently own eight d'uccles: 2 porcelain hens, 1 porcelain cockerel, 3 mille fleur pullets, 1 mille fleur cockerel, and 1 mille fleur roosters. The first time I hatched any was two years ago, and only six hatched with many complications. My rooster is the one I chose to keep from two survivors. Last year, we had better luck and hatched a dozen d'uccles from which we kept three pullets. I don't have many pictures of them, but here's one of my rooster.

So many gorgeous colors for the D’Uccles, but Mille Fluer is far my favorite! What a handsome fella!!!These are one of my favorite bantams breeds, I just love all the color variation! Here is my pretty boy!
Welcome to the thread!!!!I really gotta get a mille fleur roo they are gorgeous and would let peewee and houdini make pretty little babies. But looking at the porcelins (btw the porcelin at the start looks almost exactly like my porcelin roo!) I really need to get a couple hens so Kerrie can make babies and I can't wait to see the final colors I get on Kerrie and peewee and houdinis babies they ought to be pretty close showing true. I think they aRE gonna be a mostly buff color. and the ones that reewee and hjoudini made with my red cochin roo Ping! are an intresting lot too. I"ll get pics on here soon as I can gotta remember to take my phone out when I am caring for all my good girls and boys and then take tome to catch some poses.
I love seeing everyone elses I llearn so much listening to you all explaining what types and what the goods and bads are on all the pics you post
I have read that 5 points is what is common and encouraged, but if you aren’t planning on showing your bird, I don’t think it’s much of an issue. I would study photos of SOP Mille Fluers and see how your guys match up. Or just pick your favorite!! Thanks, yes I have a rooster addiction unfortunatelyThanks GldnValleyHens. If you lived closer I would gladly give you one! I only got 2 pullets in the bunch, with 6 cockerels! I am definitely keeping the 2 girls, but I can only keep 1 boy (and I have to get rid of them super soon).
I have not yet found the standard to read it but I will look harder. Is 5 points the desired comb?
