D’uccle Showbird Care

[CaramelKittey]

Hi!
I was wondering if anybody could help find a solution to a problem I’ve been facing with getting D’uccle chickens. I am about to purchase four D’uccles soon and needed some advice.

D’uccle chickens have feathered feet and I will be using them as showbirds and it is wet where I live. I would like to let the birds out however how would I keep their feet and feathers clean and prevent losing feathers on their feet?


D’uccles are a bantam breed. Is it safe to put them with larger chickens or will they get hurt?

Thank you in advance!

I have three Mille Fleur D'uccles bantams with my other standard size flock of 16. They do fine. Their feet are very feathered, but since I don't show them, they are easy maintenence for me! Good luck!

Thank You!
I was worried if they could get along with other birds.
What do you do to maintain them?
