D'uccle Thread

[TattooedChicks]

If you do have a cockerel, and can't keep one, I might be interested. We do go up to KC about once a month...

Certainly! It's the white one I'm most suspicious of, I'll post some updated pics here tonight now that that are nearing 4 weeks old. Need any other bantam cocks? I got Cochins, Oegb, japs, and a suspected Sultan in the same group. Almost all my Ideal chicks are turning boy on me. You can have as many as you want.

They are all the same age? What color(s) are the cochins? I only want one cockerel...and think I'd prefer a d'uccle but if he turns out to be she, then a cochin might be an alternative....

I noticed you were from GA, I'm in middle GA near Warner Robins and may need a home for my Porcelain, he's around 15 weeks. Let me know if you may be interested and I can figure out how to share a pic!

Too bad it's way too far I live in GA.. Somebody will want them though.Good luck.

What is your location? I need a silky roo and would take the D'Uccles as well. But would need to pick up in this heat I think never shipped older chicks before.

I think I've got the right person this time! I have a Porcelain roo I may be rehoming soon, would you be interested?

All the same age, 2 or 3 black Cochins, a partridge, a white, and a questionable gold lace who has a small comb but it's already a dark pink

Alright, these are the 3 I have left after rehoming one obvious MF roo to a friend. And my 3 questionable Cochins are here too.

So, the 1st one is the suspect D'uccle? Yes it has a lot of comb...but the cochins, esp the last one, are less developed....
I'm glad to see them out on soil/grass to help develop resistance to cocci. Everyone healthy?
When you are completely sure he's a male, I'd be interested in taking a trip up your way.
I have 9 chickens, 3 are hens and 6 are pullets almost 4 months. Only 2 pullets are bantams. I had included them in my order of Leghorns hoping to get a little rooster, but they are both girls, a Sebright, and a MF d'uccle. I had wondered how the size difference would work out, there's no problem. The bantams are treated as equals..by hens and pullets alike. I imagine that a younger cockerel would be shown how to fit in, after an introductory phase in separated quarters where they can see but not touch. The others all integrated seamlessly that way.
Here's a pic of the 2 bantams w 2 of the br. leghorns. The 9 girls have about a 1,000 sq. ft. run, and a walk in coop that is about 45 sq. ft. It's a nice little habitat. I think we have room for a rooster.

Anyone know where I can get or should order some porcelain d'uccles? I have one little lonely Roo that needs a friend. The silkies or the seramas don't care for him, but he's soo dang sweet!
