How did you breed all these colors? (in particular Hikee?)Here are some updated pics of my babies. People wanted to see what the first chick looked like as he got older so i posted a chick pic and a recent teenage pic.
BumbleBee 1 day
Bumblebee 3 months
Raven, an accidental D'Anver D'uccle cross. I didn't keep the pairs separate long enough before egg collection, but I love her!
Hikee

To bad ours don't share a coopWow! Some very beautiful birds on this thread. Angie I hope your hen is doing better.
Here's Ruben at 8 weeks now. Hes been crowing for over a week and he's getting it down a lot better. 4 plain notes now but he's working on the inflection.
Won BV and BB with my Mille Roo. I also took RB and RV with a Mille hen. The judge pulled this guy out of his cage to compare with another rooster for Best Featherleg so almost won the feather leg class! But I know he didn't actually take it due to condition-his tail feathers were not yet fully grown from molting a month ago or so. Very proud of this guy though! What show I did the same with a hen a state fair of Texas I'll get a picture of her and post it
Gorgeous !!!This is the last of this spring's incubator project. I ended up with four Cockerels and chose to keep him. The other three were traded for a Hen. Here is Junior he looks a lot like his dad but has better feathering on his face.

His back is kind of long and lots of white in his beard. Those I are the negatives. A good pic of him showing off would be best to judge him. I think he needs a little more time to fill in honestly. He looks decent though. Barely any wattles, big beard, good foot feathering. If your new to showing D'uccles they will get more white with every molt. Every bird will have a prime which they will have a good balance of mottling or spangling. Next year he may be awesome color wise. With the blacks, keep an eye on the red leakage in their hackle(neck) feathers. Form is priority when showing then work on color. Like many have said you need to build the house before you paint it.
