Broody Porcalin D'Uccle

[Laura78]

My D'Uccle starting sitting on 7-9 eggs Saturday. I'm going to let her hatch them out. The chicks will be pure bred, I've got 2 D'Uccle hens and one roo and a bunch of pullets of various breeds in there.

Good luck! Sure would like to see a picture of her! I love the porcelain color on D'Uccles.

The one in the first picture is the one on the eggs.

Very nice birds. Please keep us posted on the progress and show pictures of the babies.

I thought I'd give an update on my broody. I went out on Saturday and checked her eggs, all but 4 had either been broken and eatten by other chickens or had been cracked. So, I grabbed the last 4 and brought them in. After candling I noticed 3 were clear, so I tossed them out and put the good one in the bator. I'm adding more oyster shells to their diet and will wait untill I get my broody pen all done before I let her sit again.

Oh, I am sorry to hear about your misfortune. Good luck with the one that is left.

I will be excited to see if it hatches. If it does, what will you name it?
