Toooo cute

Looks like 2 blk, 2 blue and 2 silvers. Wait a few more days and recheck wing coloration, but I'm pretty sure you have silvers

Doug, cant wait to see what your new babies look like, very exciting.

Gorgeous baby bird pics everyone!!

Thanks Misty! What should I be looking for in the wing coloration between silver and citron?

Would everyone say these ARE porcelain d'uccles? And is the last one a cockerel? (It almost never stands like that but was curious as to why it got brought inside) I sure hope not, it's my sweetest bird and I know it won't be the best quality to keep around for breeding

They look more like mille fleur and whites to me.
Yes, the last pic does look suspiciously roo-ish.....

 

[Firefly89]

Ugh I was afraid of that

what will the whites turn out like? Will it be basically the same? I knew the Milles just thot I'd throw it in because I love them so

 

[wegotchickens]

Whaites are white d'Uccles. They are pretty birds and can be shown. You look for the usual things: Good beards, muffs, feathers on middle toes as well as outer toes & shanks, strong vulture hocks.



Carolyn, I'm jealous of your blue babies. They're very pretty!

If they are lemon/citron you will see the white (silver) areas start to change to a very lightish milky-tan. If silvers, they will hold the white, and right now that's what they 'appear' to be from your photos.

OH....that helps alot! One has buffish color inside the black lacing and the other one is definitely more white. This is very exciting news!!!

I will update the pics soon.
