I think I started noticing it around 4-5 weeks old. I am sure different bloodlines emerge a bit differently but you should see color coming in at 6 weeks and it will continue on through their first big molt and probably change a little every molt.
With some of my bantam Cochins I see it as soon as they feather in but I am not sure if d'Uccles color up that quickly or not. It is probably preferable that they do not. The later the color comes in the better for showing them at a mature age. But again, I am no expert when it comes to d'Uccles.

Looking for some opinions on my Mille Fleurs:
I can get better pictures tomorrow if needed. Please be honest, I can take good & bad news. Promise !

definitely no d'uccle in Auggie. He looks like a game bird. his coloring is golden laced. no seabright in him either I doubt.

I would say he is a seabright modern game cross. Just my opinion

Well i got him as an egg from my friend and i think she has only Seabright and maybe another slightly larger bantam breed. So unless a stray game bird got into thier entirely enclosed coop, hes only maybe 2 of like 3 breeds! Im very confused, what else could he be bantam wise? Im almost positive hes part seabright. And also one of the other eggs from his run is full seabright. Any other suggestions? Actually i should probably post this on another thread but suggestios are appriciated!! Thanks guys!!! Maybe ill figure out what he really is!!!

the long legs would suggest modern game mix

rooster looks like he might have the hint of some very small wattles
the girls if they are young which i am guessing they are i would watch for their middle toe feathers as one looks like she is lacking them
beards look alright but the hen on the far right appears to be lacking a beard at all
foot feathering(besides middle toe) looks nice

now all these are just what i can tell from the pics maybe if you can get better pics can better judge them. i'm just starting out in d'uccles but i do prefer a slightly fuller beard then what yours have
