d'Uccle Cult

[TinyRaptorDodos]

They are to dark to be Mille Fleur. Their feathers coming in almost look golden. Maybe a mix color or mix breed.

I’ve seen that Barbus can get that dark. Could she be a mix of Barbu and Mille?

They do look too dark to be Mille’s! My guess would be a booted bantam if you get no beard. Both Barbu d’Anvers and Barbu d’Uccles have beards The coloring seems closer to what they call Quail.

Ahh that’s still adorable! I did just find someone a few hours away that sell Milles but I think I’m going to have to get a closer inspection this time… here’s to hoping they’re pures!

Yeah they are super cute! But now it just means you need to have both! Just make sure the next round looks more like this!

So I’ve got these porcelain boys. Which ones should I keep? These are the two I think I should keep.

Here are the boys I’m gonna sell

What do y’all think? Right decision.

I agree with what you said. The one looks to yellow and the other to gray.

Not sure which spot it goes best in, so y’all will get both One of the silkies is hatching tonight! Two of them have been cobrooding in a bin and then the Barnevelder decided she needed that spot… Luckily three birds in one of those storage tubs didn’t squash the eggs I’ve been stressing over for the past 500 weeks it feels lol. I started with 6 or 7 eggs, but ended up with only two making it this far. Most weren’t fertile unfortunately (they’re porcelain D’uccle, it’s been rough this year), then a few got squashed since EVERYONE decided to go broody. Seriously, I’ve got 11 that haven’t been able to be broken. It’s madness! So I panicked a bit and decided I couldn’t risk the others stomping the chicks, grabbed the most dedicated silkie (go Blacky!) and popped her in the brooder box I set up for my porch chicks They can wait a day or two for me to see how the mommy vibes go, then I’ll put her in the porch brooder for a bit I guess. Luckily she hunkered right down on the eggs and seems ok with the move for now I’m hoping since I moved her during the night, she’ll just go with it and everything will be ok in the morning! One egg was internally pipped, not sure how I’ll sleep tonight
