At about 5-7 weeks you can tell the roo's from the hens as the combs are red or going red by then.

OOOOOhhhh Shannon, let me think about it - baby D'uccle's - I want some!!

But let me think about it. What color do you have? I am in St.Petersburg. Where are you? (I don't have an incubator, but that would be such a fun project this summer)​

Darn! I wish I lived closer to you! I have one, possibly two little d'Uccle roos that I can't keep.

Would Honey like this boy? I'm bringing him to sell at the Sadieville swap...

I have a hen that looks the same as yours and they make pretty babies! I've got enough babes from my projects, though, and need more space...

Here's the link to the swap: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=342343

I'm near Gainesville. I only have porcelain's laying right now, Sebastian and Sadie in my pics and 2 more pullets who look exactly like Sadie! Let me know, you can have them for the price of shipping.

I'm going to guess the answer to that question is no. I purchased some blue mille fleur from them this past spring and I would say that almost one quarter of the birds developed into golden necks. Of course they are not old enough to breed yet, but I'm deducing that since they were in with the blue mille fleur they share the Andalusian gene.

end9586 - Your little "Honey" is truly a lovely little porcelain hen

I hope you can find an equally lovely porcelain roo

It seems this gene is so easy to loose.
