Mi e don't do still very well either! Very pretty birds, Amy. What is the color of your new girls DH called? Is it red? He's very handsome.

Toby is a Golden Neck Booted Bantam. He is not a d'Uccle. Still a cutie but I do not have a Booted Bantam pullet so "Bride" will be with him for a while.

The breed club has the standards for both breeds but they are different. Very good reading if you want to know more about them.

I like the body type on your first gal, and think she has nice feet and fluffy chin, from that angle. The porcelain gal looks a bit like her neck is longer than it should be, not the compact body type with the bull neck. She should be more like a size 12 instead of a size 6 if you know what I mean. Less Supermodel and more 'Mama' to be able to hatch chickies for you. She does have a nice 'V' line from her back to her tail instead of a 'U' shape. I would like to see a fuller beard and her posture closer to the ground. She has beautiful color and a nice comb from what I can see! But that's just my preference. I'm not a poultry judge, nor a breed expert, I'm just sharing what I like best in my little hens.

Thank you, just wondering, i knew the porcelains beard/muffs weren't very good

, I'm glad to know that the golden neck is ok, here is another shot of her. What do you think Teddi?
