I'm looking for a young Mille roo near NH/VT/MA/CT - anyone have anything available?

I got two head shots of my Mille Fleur D'uclle today.

Don't you just love those cheek puffs?

She loves hers rubbed. I do, love my bearded breeds! I also have ameraucanas .

Lorilyn i'd be happy with any unwanted chocolate crosses lol.

Ok here's my question: at what age did everyone's rooster's spurs grow in? Latest? The son of my 2 year spurless roo is 6+ mo now and still nubs. Dare i hope? If so it is time to breed him or dad to my project ees.

Then the question becomes who has the most potent genes him or dad? Son was an accidental inbreed with a brother sister. Does that give him a double dose of the gene???

My roosters never seem to get spurs, so I can't answer that.

Oh. So perhaps not so rare. Have you ever outcrossed one of the spurless ones to a standard size to see if it bred in?

I am planning on getting some Porcelain colored D'uccles. Are they actually sweeties? Will they beat up other breeds?

My d'uccle roo is about 8/9 months and has little nub spurs

D'uccles are usually all sweeties. One of the best breeds as pets, I think.

Hard to say. We have 4 girls and one polish bantam together. The d'uccles seem nice but last week they started aggravatating an old top knot wound on the polish caused by an LF 3 month old cockerel. I can't put the polish bantam with the LF flock and there's no other polish. They aren't bothering each other, and they aren't constantly harrassing the polish girl but they arent leaving her bald spot alone.

As for the boys, I've had 2. One would attack my legs and the other one never did. Right now, I'm roo-less. Need to find one for my girls.

I guess they are like most people, some are nice and some aren't.
