Beautiful birds Lori. Can't wait to see them in person on Saturday!

There are 4 cockerals there. THAT's how I can part with such adorable babies.
Plus, I just don't have room for everyone I have, plus everyone I want. (bear in mind I have 22 eggs in the bator, too)

I'm selling millie 5 hens, 6 silkie chicks, and at least 2 d'Uccle cockerals (more, if I'm disciplined). DH says I should sell twice that

Please note, he does not feed, water or clean up after them. This decision is alllllll mine!

The 2 blues with 'lemon' trim will stay.
The solid dark gold cockeral will stay, as will the palest gn cockeral (although he should go).
The 2 gn pullets will stay (but I should probably sell).


Carolyn, be sure to find me Saturday!

They are truly beautiful. I can hardly wait until we have young birds. That cockerel is so handsome, wow is all I can say. Keep up the great breeding, you obviously have an eye for the breeding. (If I keep hanging around with you smart people, maybe I'll learn something!)

Do you mean my mille fluer? The first 2 pics?
I think he's good looking, but wanted feedback. I know he has too many points on his comb.
Those weren't great pics. Normally his beard is fuller and he has a nice bullneck. But it had been raining and he was scoping out me and the camera....

Lori, I think despite his extra point on his comb, the rest of him looks fabgorgeulous! (I had to make up a word for him)

Since we are sharing pics of our young ones, here is a pic of my Broody hatched males. Out of the two you can see who's dominant. I'm keeping the one on the right who's a real sweetie and has the qualities I am needing. Not sure if he'll make it to be one of my breeders, but he's a keeper for personality.

You know, what's weird, is here it is in Missouri, snowing like crazy, and my favorite porcelain pullet decides she's not going in the coop tonight, and I find her under the coop perching on the little plastic swimming pool I throw sand in for them to play in. I couldn't decide if she was just plumb crazy, coming down with something, or didn't want to get her feet all snowy. Come to think of it, it hadn't started snowing when I let them out this morning, but that sure changed at noon. Of course, I scooped her up, scolded her gently, calling her a silly little hen, gave her a smooch on her little head after warming her up under my coat, and made her snuggle up with my favorite rooster who is the low man on the totem pole.

Okay, can we say I'm totally crazy about my d'uccles? Please tell me I'm not the only one who baby talks to their chickens.........
