D'uccle Thread

Well I could look through 497 pages on here but I'm lazy so... who has d'uccles and regular sized chickens too? I'm dying to know how much smaller d'uccles are. Here's a pic of my sweet Waffles and her Isa Brown buddy Cuddles. They are both 6 weeks old.

Dang...its GODZILLA....lol!!!

I don't think so...no cheeks or beards and he's got wattles. He's still cute though!

These are my first Mille Fleurs.

3 mos old roo

3 month old hen

I have a hen that could be her twin Love the vulture hocks on that little roo, he's going to be beautiful!

I hope so, was a little worried that he wont be a spotted as she is....does that matter?

She'll get more and more spotting as she gets older, some people like it some don't. Too much spotting isn't great at shows, I think she'll turn out nicely

What about the roo, will he get more spots also?

So... D'uccles don't get wattles? Or are they just not as big as other breeds?

Also, whats the earliest signs so I can tell gender on mine? I only have one so I wont have another for size/color/comb comparison and I know that usually helps.. Mine is 2 weeks today.

I would say you will be able to tell by 5 or 6 weeks, but imma rookie also!

"Mille Fleur" is the COLOR, not the breed.

Yes, he is a Mille Fleur, but not a d'Uccle. d'Uccles have very small or no wattles, vulture hocks, very heavily feathered legs and feet, beards and muffs (the tufts on their cheeks). I would say he is probably a Mille Fleur Old English Game bantam. He is very pretty!
