Awwwww... How sad.

 

[fuzzybutt love]

Aww. Was she out of the wind?

I just lost one that took chill; I had a few wild roos that would not come out of the rain
He got wet, did ok the first night so i thought but took a chill. I don't know what else it could be, everyone else is fine. He had a white comb and wattles, everyone else is bright red and looking good. Must've been a shock on his heart.

Anybody ever heard of a white d'uccle I never hear anything about them but ideal has some I was thinking about buying this spring I already pre-ordered 100 mille fleur d'uccles from ideal.

You might be able to change your order if it isn't too late to substitute some of those for whites, I would think. Welp has white ones too- I haven't bought any but was thinking about it awhile back.

I haven't posted on this thread in a while and I had a "photo shoot" the other day and I thought I'd share some of the better pics. Porcelain Hen Hurley, my Showmanship hen, she's such a sweety Pullet "#1", 6 months old Pullet "#2", 6 months old 6 month old Cockerel, "Red Red" Also, for you more experienced with genetics I have a question. If you breed a Porcelain to Mille Fleur and they produce 100% Mille Fleur chicks, are those chicks "split" to Porcelain? If they are bred to Porcelain, will produce a % of Porcelain and a % of Mille Fleur chicks? Thank you

Yes the first question on splits. The second on percentage... 50split/50porcelain I believe splits are heterozygous for the trait and breeding them to recessive porcelain would result in half heterozygous( split)

I was wanting to add them on to my order of mille fleurs. Would they let me even if I ordered them later than the mfd?
