D'uccle Thread

I asked earlier but fear the post got lost in the shuffle. Can anyone tell me the feather progression for Goldneck and or Lemon? My chicks are about 2 weeks. Just wondering....

Not sure about lemon.

For my goldnecks, they usually start out kind of butterscotch and then darken up and start to get their white spots later on. Around 8 weeks they really start to get pretty and you can kind of judge type.

Well my 4 lite eggs go into lockdown tomorrow...not sure how many are porcelain and how many are serama crosses. From.size I'd say 1 serama 3 porcelain... we will know soon enough :-

Carolyn, I am working on a color page of my own for the golden neck - - it is a work in progress, but you are welcome to view what I have so far here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/web/viewblog.php?id=12029-duccles-goldenneck


I do not have lemons, but I will also be working on a butterscotch page since I have many more pics of those too. Hope that helps.

Thanks....my little one hatched yellow and is feathering white.....

Not that it really matters but I have no idea what to expect. Your pics are great!

I posted some babies I need to find a home for, if anyone knows someone local that wants some kid's pets....
Definitely not show quality and I don't consider them breeder quality either. But they are sooooo pretty!

Who me? I told my mom that as soon as they start laying again, I'm gonna hatch some out. PM me your info and I can try to get some from her to send to you. Maybe we can do a trade for something.
I have a few more pictures.

wegotchickens, your PQ pullets are just lovely!

The cockerel looks like a butterscotch.


And speaking of butterscotch . . . for those interested, I have created a gallery of my butterscotch project birds to help those working on this color. This project was with booted bantams, but they are related and the color is always tricky, so I hope this helps. More adult pics coming soon.

Absolutely gorgeous! I am trying to breed bantam Cochins to look like that. Didn't know the d'Uccle came in that variety, too. Very beautiful!
