D'uccle Thread

My gold necks. These are Ideal stock and I was pretty impressed with foot feathering from them.

i like the first one (mine to is from ideal) but the 2 lighter ones i just dont like but yes foot feathering is awsome on them...do you happen to know why they come out light like this?

X2! I'm thinking the same thing.

the pullet does have a single comb and is small

Some gold necks are not based on the blue gene but on dominant white diluting all colors, according to some. So my bird may very well have been a blue millie with the white thrown on for further dilution. I, too, liked the darker mahoghany on gold necks and gave away the lighter cockeral.

Looking for a new d'uccle rooster in any of the mille fleur patterns. Will consider a cockeral or two.

I have a Mille fleur cockerel, that is 4 months old. He has nice feather pattern, and okay foot feathering. He has no wattles visible, due to his large beard.

I don't have pictures on this computer, but I'll post some in a minute.

I was checking out my 4 monthor old pullets. They are millies. One has white spots at the tips of her tail feathers. Bad?
