D'uccle Thread

[jenifern]

Hi I am wondering if any of you have bred a bearded Belgian d'uccle (mille fleur) roo to a White D'uccle Hen? Any ideas of what will hatch out? Will they just be white or mille fleur chicks?

How are Privett's D'uccles? I think I may order from Welp, and they come from Privett, (because they also have Dutch and Pyncheon bantams, which I want to try). Any of thier. D'uccle colors hardier, nicer, or better quality than others? They carry mille fleur, black mottled, porcelain, self blue, wgite and golden neck. I just want reasonably hardy, healthy d'uccles, with sweet personalities for pets, anddcent laying for a bantie.

This is one of the four girls I have from Privett. They are all sweet and great layers.

Maybe it won't work keeping my Black Copper Marans and d'Uccles together this winter. lol It looks like they're forming mismatched pairs! She usually is tucked under his wing. It's hot today, so she just climbed on him.

j I just love this pic!!!!

These are my pair of mille fleur d'uccle from Privett. The are about 6 month old. Not show quality and he needs more white but I love her color.

Thanks for replying! She is so pretty, and it good to know Privett's D'uccles lay pretty well. Is she a self blue? I'm still trying to decide which colors to get, or if I should just to hatchery choice D'uccles which are cheaper and let them surprise me...

She is porcelain but she is light, here is one where she looks white.

This is the color of one of the others.

Here is the mille fleur.

Do you just have mille fleur and porcelain? Have you noticed any difference in the laying ability or general hardiness between the different colors? Im leaning toward ordering the DUccle assortment so I can get a few colors (and also because I cant pick a favorite color!) but concern is that not all the varieties may be as hardy/ productive as the mille fleur.
