Can anyone help me with my d'Uccle rainbow? I believe I know what most are but there's one I'm not sure about...here it goes

Unmarked egg but supposedly came from either a golden neck or milliefleur pen...looks like a blue milliefleur to me though?



Golden neck?



Porcelain (I hope! My fave color)


& of course a milliefleur, the prettiest chick I've hatched so far, most didn't have as much patterning yet

Your guesses sound spot on to me.

I love the bottom mille chick! It is gorgeous. I took Dottie off of the roost to look her over again and feel her crop. The little snippett tried to bite me! She's never done that before. She jumped back up on the roost and is acting like a strutting turkey. This is double her size! If she is broody with no eggs laid in over a week how in the world does she expect to set eggs ON THE ROOST?!? She eats, drinks and poops fine. No signs of anything else other than this.

I have an OEGB hen who goes broody every year but doesn't get that she has to sit on the eggs to hatch chicks.

She acts just like your girl.

Any idea what color this lil one is? Was told its a d'uccle..

Doesn't look like a d'Uccle to me. It looks a lot like a columbian Cochin.

It's hard to tell with cockerels, especially d'Uccles. I would keep him until he's around 6 months (if you can), then make the decision based on what he looks like then.

How did you get your oegb to set eggs? ( If you did) Dottie showed no interest in the eggs, just in dust bathing when I made her get off the roost this afternoon. I was leaning towards selling the MFBD until Dottie did this today. Won't sell them til I figure out what is going on.

Try baiting the nest. Put eggs, or golf balls into the nest and make a large clutch. Probably around 5 eggs. Then keep her in the coop so she can see it. Hopefully she'll set.

My d'Uccle cockerel is earning his keep. He is only 8 weeks old and is such a good boy baby-sitting the little ones.

I am going to post this here as well, so hopefully more people see it. I am looking for golden necked d'Uccle eggs (I will consider chicks or older birds as well though) that are from show quality parents. I am flexible on price, as quality is more important to me. If you have some available or know where I can get some, please send me a PM. Thanks.
