D'uccle Thread

[Gagirly]

Aren't you the one that had the silver mkottled d'uccle? Then it's very likely her chick and yes, it would be a citroen! Congrats! Oh wait, just reread your post that it came from two GNs. Sometimes gold necks are that color because of a certain white gene that dilutes. This might be the case . Can't remember if it's dominant or recessive white.

I am the the one with the silver mille, but this chick isn't hers. I bought the golden necks at a show from some people who also have some silver milles. They showed me pictures of some almost identical to mine. I suspect that the golden neck roo that I bought may have a silver mille parent. He's got a great deal of black in his tail. The thing that is different about this chick is that there's not a little black in the wings, but it has the black dot at the end of each feather. That black dotted mille pattern combined with the pale yellow/white base is unique to any of the other chicks I've hatched. I guess I'll know more when more of it's feathers develop. I can't find your email to send you a picture to see what you think and I can't upload pictures here with this cheap phone (don't have a computer).

Hello everyone I actually had a good News Day hatch with the dUccle eggs I set I hatched all six I set got 4 Milles and 2 Black Mottled. On Christmas I hatched a self blue or lavender not sure yer, have to get a picture. I got it by combo of Blue Mille roo and Mille. No one is laying right now, thinking they should start soon since we are getting a little more light now. It's been bitter cold here and very snowy.

Self Blue is the same thing as Lavender

She is so pretty! Did you have any with this feather pattern in your first generation? I hatched out 7 Silkie/d'Uccle chicks and 3 look like this girl (I hope it's a girl)




. The others look more like the Mille Fleur pattern.

her parents are a mix between a white silkie hen and a mille d'uccle but lost her dad to some dogs. here they are (2 hens and a roo)

hdowden, thanks for your response. I'm so glad you think they are girls. These chicks have been so much fun, as they are funny, active and sweet. Yours are so pretty.
