d'uccle Experts (or not so much)

[juliechick]

its pronounced duh OO cle in Belgium. I googled it and found a sound bite telling how they pronounce it. We still say doocle anyway.

So it's duh-OO-cull (duh-OO-cle). Wow did I have it wrong. Can you paste a link so I can start practicing.

We have one beautiful porcelain hen and just got 4 porcelain chicks (st. run) and 4 mille fleur chicks (st. run) just hoping for at least 1 more pullet as a keeper.

These are, by far, the BEST BREED of chicken. We also got 4 EE bantams and 3 Silver Laced Rock Bantams. I have the 8 d'Uccles in one tub and the 7 other bantams in another tub. The 8 sweet d's are so quite and well behaved, while the tub with 7 are wild and loud. There is one that may have been the McMurray Mystery chick and he/she is so loud and pecks everyone. Are my little sweeties in the other tub making the others look bad?

If any of the d's turn out to be roosters would y'all like one (FREE) esp. you folks in AL or ArK? FREEEEEEEEEEE......

Uccle (French) is one of the nineteen municipalities located in the Brussels-Capital Region of Belgium. Uccle is known for its well-to-do areas, its green spots and its high rental rates.

Hmm, does that mean the d'uccle's expect a ritzy chicken coop? And they don't want mutts in their neighborhood... hmmmm


ETA just in case your d'uccle is a mille fleur, here is a link to that pronunciation:

OK, so that solves it. It is officially, DEW-klah! YEAH, I can now say "how are my little DEW-klahs this morning" It sounds very hoity-toity. I am now going to drink tea with my pinky straight out and eat small sandwiches without crusts.

Thanks y'all. And don't forget FREE d'uccle roosters in a couple of weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
