d'Uccle Cult

[kcan2]

My porcelain rooster considers himself to be a formidable bully unless he is trying to avoid being picked up. He thinks most human actions must be a trick that will result in being picked up, so generally he just keeps a suspicious eye out. If he does try to be a bully about something, I naturally conclude that he must want to be picked up. Teeheehee

I have a separate pen of porcelains. Their feathers stay solid blue for a while, so it will depend when this new one grows out if it shows the spangling or not. Maybe I can go back thru some pics for comparison at the same age.

Funny, mine aren’t friendly like that, but they aren’t aggressive either. Pretty much indifferent to me coming in and out of the pen. The moms are definitely aggressively protective of babies though! Lol

Oh look at those pretty ladies!!

Thanks! I love them. Those babies are about 8 weeks old now. They are funny, half of them go thru the fence and spend most of the day in the pen with my pigeons!

The d'uccles on the other side of the fence look like they definitely want to get in with those pigeons!

My rooster really is pretty indifferent too, he just gets occasionally niffed at unfamiliar objects rustling close to his flock or person. It's all understandable. What he can't understand is why it is so tempting to pick him up. It's tough for him - being small and cute - when all he wants is to be taken seriously.

Those look almost like porcelains! I think @TwistedTayy has blues, they might be able to say! So cute!

They could be blue Mille fleurs. I believe those genes require golden neck to make them. I was just recently talking to @Amer about this. I personally don’t have blue Mille fleur myself. Mine are blue silver.

Left is a light blue silver (with extreme leakage), middle is a blue silver and right is a silver. All young cockerels but a blue Mille fleur will have blue where these guys do and show Mille fleur everywhere else.

Darker one here is a blue silver pullet as a baby.

I'm at 50 percent duccl3es. My other roo was chasing people. Love my handsome man who's left though

Must see pics!!! I just luv em!

So, my gold hens started laying again so I decided to set a few eggs. I set 7 in my Brinsea Mini, and all 7 hatched!
I ended up with what I think is 2 blue mille fleur, 4 golden neck, and the last one is mostly blue, so maybe porcelain.
So someone is carrying a blue gene.
I’m kind of amazed at the variety of the baby colors. Anxious to see them grow out.
Here are the adults (one small pullet in the back that the hens hatch earlier this spring)

I had no idea they came in so many colors!!! Beautiful!

Chatty and Cathy are very friendly! Gabby could care less bout anyone or anything unless there is a treat. Then she can't help herself but she is like queen bee...look but don't touch! She's almost the most gorgeous in coloring thus far!
Chatty is my little eager beaver and seeks out my lil bantam cochin roo and bullies him to death! She's so rough when eating treats my grandson will not feed em to her anymore! They always act like they are starving lol!
