D'uccle Thread

[TheRookie]

Okay first off, sorry for all the pics but I am a little confused on my girls coloring... She is one month old today and still has barely any comb so yes, I'm sticking with girl

She is supposed to be splash.. but looks like her feathers are coming in more like a Mille.. I'm totally new to D'uccles and their colors so please correct me if I'm wrong...




She started off as mostly yellow with a few black spots and black foot feathering. Now this is coming in. Ive seen pics of splash D'uccles and they look nothing like this... Am I just going crazy? lol

And this is why I say girl. No comb growth in the past 3 weeks I've had her, and it's still pale, no darkening at all... Now if I only had that kind of luck with the three silkies she is rooming with

This was her two weeks ago.

Okay these two are both roos, right? They are 4 1/2 weeks old now.






Little guy doesn't have a name yet.

Thanks to everyone for your input on my possible fliers! I'm tempted to try to keep them both. Are D'uccle roos noisy? I can't get over how quiet these two are! Right now they are sharing the brooder with 2 EE and 2 polish. The two EEs especially seem to be noisy little drama queens, lol. The D'uccles make just the sweetest little quiet peeps! Oh, and at what age is it usually okay to clip a wing?

Miss Louella again. These are our first chickens, and they are so fun! Love their personalities.

i have one porcelain girl that is covered by a hatchery self blue. i myself am looking for eggs of any color right now. i am testing her eggs out to see if any chicks live and to see if my rooster has hidden genes since he is a hatchery bird. then i have my trio of silkie/d'uccle mixes that i am also going to do some hatching from for my own little backyard right now. i do need black to get a project that i have in mind started though.
