Thank you so much.
I hope there aren't too many roos. I am pretty sure there are two pullets and I don't know about the other three.

the porcelain is the only one that is looking like a pullet. the mottled is 100% cockerel and the coloring on the milles i really dont like as its looking like there are darker buff spots here and there on the wings already indicating cockerels but give it some more time though

I guestioned the mottled due to all the white it does not look like my mottled's

Blah.
What a drag that will be. I can't have any roosters. I shouldn't have done a straight run I guess.
Thanks so much for looking.

its got a lot but there is a beard on it

granted all of my mottleds started out like that but then that white after a few molts as they grew turned into black

This is super helpful. I have combed this thread looking for info like this and pictures. I'll go look more closely now.
Thanks.

Hey Lori what do you think of this guy? I bought him from the breeder in NC and I swear I think he has something mixed in him even though all he had were d'uccles and booted bantams...something about him makes me think he has old english in him...I am giving him away to someone today and keeping 4 of his daughters. I didn't make a mistake, did I?

My guys, just 10 weeks old, from the eggs I won (Mstricer's eggs) ... I love the boldness of the more flashy mottled boy... he is pretty fearless. These fellas are adorable. Never had D'Uccles before, but I am in love.

First up, Marquis (the fearless) and Myles (blue Mille Fleur)



Marquis again!

Maggiemo, my mottled cochin chicks are about the same age as your mottleds and the coloring looks alink but the body shape is way different, so hopefully they are d'uccles. I think your milles may be pullets, but it's pretty hard to tell. Of my six chicks I have 4 roosters, but I need more roosters with fun colors so it's okay. Plus dad is pretty mellow so hopefully they will be too.

Aschenfire, how do you get them to stand so pretty when your taking pics??? Mine get all slinky or lay down, ugh!!
