She said up further 5 1/2 weeks. Yhats a lot of comb on most breeds, I am not d'Uccle experienced but that comb looks just like my cochins that are very pullety.

X2 I think a cockerel would have a much redder comb at that age. I think your girl is just a early maturing pullet.

Yay a d'Uccle thread! I have one Mille Fleur that I hatched out from assorted bantam hatching eggs from Meyer Hatchery. She is very sweet and lays more eggs than what I've read. She lays about 3-4 a week. Here is Muffin at 20 wks, 20 minutes, a couple of days and 4.5 weeks.

What a beauty! I am raising my first two now. Glad to hear about the eggs. Mine are 6 weeks old so it will be awhile till I see any of those.

Hello Everyone...We want to add some of these beautiful birds to our farm. We live in Va and would love hatching eggs or chicks We have found someone with Golden Neck, so we are now looking for black/blue mottled or other colors. Thanks

Can anyone tell me if the pointed black marks at the base of this one's tail indicate roo or if it's normal for pullets?

Those look like saddle feathers coming in. I think you have a cockerel. Can you get a photo in better lighting, and maybe a comb shot?
