D'uccle breeders Database

[Gypsylion]

Does anyone know if anyone in the US has ever bred some of the more rare colors that are shown on the feathersite page? Specifically, there are pics of Lemon/Citroen mille fleur, a "silver" mille fleur, "silver porcelain" mille fleur, "mahogany" mille fleur, and even a cuckoo variety (!) that I'd LOVE to see in person somewhere (and maybe even get some for myself!). According to the captions, many of these are from France. (Maybe there's a trip en francais in my future, eh?)

For the record, about a third of the pics on that page are of booted bantams (NOT bearded d'Uccles), and the labeling of the colors is a bit variable...

Also, does anyone know much about d'Uccle genetics? I'm assuming, perhaps erroneously, that you can cross some of the more unusual booted bantam or d'Anvers color strains with d'Uccles to get a line of d'Uccles of that color type. Is this true?

My black mottled and self blue eggs are on their way... I'm so excited!

Gypsylion, I've been reading everything I can find on the genetics of the d'Uccles.
Here's a couple of links that might help you. I have more links but will have to look for them.
The genetics on these little birds are confusing but fascinating.

You mean the one at your place, yes? I've had so much going on I hadn't thought that far ahead!

I certainly could come though... Would you want me to bring our jewelry setup again?

THANK YOU so much for that info! That looks like a great place to start my research...

Hey Conserva, where/who did you get your eggs from on ebay?? When did you get them and how do they look so far? I want some more whites and blue mottleds...just can't seem to find any that are the "type" or quality I like

I got my blue mottles from 1234Muki...she almost always has mottles on there, usually blue and black and I think I've seen porcelains and milles from her too. She shipped quickly, packaging was great and the chicks hatched 2 days ago and look great. Nice beards already!

I only hatched out 3 of 8 eggs (only one didn't develop) but pretty sure that was my fault. This was my first time hatching bantams and I didn't really know what I was doing...

I just got 9 today (bought 8), the ones I mentioned in the other post from midsummermoon. Again, shipped quickly and packaged well. Hopefully I'll have better luck with this batch!

I know...it's so hard to choose a variety with these guys, so many gorgeous choices! Once they get to breeding age I don't know how I'll handle it if I want to sell eggs but oh well...

I have a broody on some of twinlights d'uccle eggs right now (Hi Mary

)! ...

I'm very very very excited to be adding to my mix flock (that already has 2 d'uccles) they're such inquisitive and fancy little birds! ...

And I highly recommend working with twinlights!

she's great! ! .... and we'll know how the hatch goes from my end on the 30th
