D'uccle Thread

I've heard any number of different pronunciations. A few say it that way, a lot say "D uck el," some say "DUCK-el" I use the latter pronunciation.

I simply say "D uncle"

Yes, I've used both. Not sure I can get used to saying dew-clay! :] good to know that there are other options.

Wow... Don't laugh.... I was pronouncing it how it looks. "Duckle".

is Ideal better quality birds than Cackle or welp? Anyone have any idea about that?

I can't answer about the d'Uccle from hatchery's. My feed store orders from Ideal. I can say the Silkie coming from Cackle is better than any of the other hatchery stock I have seen.

Where do you get the "n" from?

Proper way to say it is "dew-clay". It is french and may be harder to get used to saying if you have been saying it wrong for a while.

 

[suyoder]

Very true.

Can't find it, but somewhere online is a french pronouniation of the town of Uccle and all you put in front of it is a quick "duh" in front to get doo-clay.

Ho everyone! I'm am new to duccles. I ordered 2 chicks threw my local feed store (don't know what hatchery they use) an I ordered 1 mille fluer and 1 porcilan. I ended up with 1 d'uccle and un known breed, and the d'uccle is not a mille fluer but she is still beautiful! Can you tell me what color type she is called? My phone want take or upload pics so I will just have to describe her and you can tell me best you can. She is a buff color with white feather tips all over. Looks like a buff mottled but she is only 6 weeks old do I thought mottled only have maybe a few spots and a white chest at this age but she looks like an adult mottled at only 6 weeks. And 2 she has bluish gray legs so I assume this is a d'uccle trait. That leads me to the other mystery chick. She is not bearded and clean legged. She also has blue gray legs and beak? Any ideas. I know it's hard with out pics sorry. I was thinking the mystery chick might be a oeg but I can't get any straight answers on google if oeg have blue gray legs and beak. Thanks for any help!

For your d'uccle, sometimes it take a while for them to develop the Mille Fleur pattern. ANd it really changes and looks better after their first molt. Other posibility, you might have a golden neck.

And your mystery chick, might be a d'anver.
