I'll have to look up blue mille - or did you mean I'd get both? (Michele?)

I just ordered a few mille fleur d'uccles today! They will be here the end of February, along with the other chicks/ducklings I ordered. So the d'uccles will be straight run, and we have never kept a roo. Are these guys pretty laid back, non aggressive? I would LOVE to keep one, they're pretty, and I LOVE teh rooster crow. Hubby wants nothing to do with roos because he says they're all mean. NOpe they're not.

My D' Uccles males were very gentle and never even thought about attacking me.

my boy is 9 months old and he's my favorite. He hasn't been mean to me or anyone. he sometimes wants to puff up like to show me he's there but I pick him right up. He's my favorite to kiss on

now I really want to hatch some eggs! I hope we move so I would feel comfortable doing it in my house with an incubator. My boy is fairly loud though. My silkie is kind of pathetic sounding compared to him, lol! I have close neighbors so I like the silkie, I don't want to get in trouble and have to get rid of Sassy because he's noisy.

You should get blue Mille and Mille. I have pictures of blue Mille's in my signature

Thanks! Glad to hear they seem to be nice roos. They are SO beautiful! I can't wait to get mine and watch them grow!

I've never had a mean d'uccle roo. They love their humans too much.

I've had a couple mean ones, the older they get.

my boy is starting to do better, i didn't lose him and he's doing much better appetite wise! I love my little roo-roo . I put him with another hen, but she's actually a booted bantam but still porcelain. Not affectionate like sissy was, but it gives him purpose.

Mine is 2 years old at least, and never did get spurs in. My roo is particularly mild, and affectionate to me and his girls. He kicked at my feet a few times when he hit puberty, but i just picked him up and now he's one of my biggest huggers.
