Is Murray a good hatchery to order from when getting D'uccles? I'm looking for sq so probably not?

Probably not, unless your going to make a very large order and cull a lot of them.....That may be the best option if its hard for you to find them....

For sq you'll want to go with a private breeder. The "for sale" forums here are a good place to start.

I would do some searching around and find a good breeder and buy some eggs, chicks or maybe a breeding trio. if you are wanting SQ don't buy from a hatchery. You would have to buy a lot before you even got one worthy of being considered as show quality. Good luck on your search!

So far my d'uccle is taking the snow pretty well, but she also doesn't go outside.We got around 3 inches and were suppose to get more today, but so far we haven't.

Hello all got home from the Dixie Classic and thought I would share (don't look at her cage I took picture right before we were leaving and gave her treats in bottom of cage)

My cockerel Mille Fleur took 1st place and pullets took 3 and 4.

Congrats !

I like her well-defined black - mine has smudgier black and less of it. Can't wait for mine to go through her first molt so I see what her colors will really settle down to. No eggs from her yet.

Only one of my pullets are laying and it seems she doesn't like boys

The hen above should start laying as I will be leaving her inside garage where it is heated and has some lights. I want to get some eggs, usually I won't but the boy hasn't been acclimated to the cold yet as I bought him last month before it got cold, so everyone will stay inside, for now
