D'uccle Thread

Heres pictures of the chick that I got out of the trio(two black hens and a white rooster) I used to have(ended up selling them because I needed the room).I'm going to keep most of their offspring though. I have 11 of their chicks including this cockerel and a younger chick that hatched out under a broody hen.I'll get pictures of the other chicks once they feather out more. A lot of their chicks are feathering out with blue,black,white,and tan in their feathers. I have a few that are solid blue and solid black so far. The cockerels feet feathers are huge and hes very beautiful,I plan on keeping him. He does have a beard its just hard to see since hes feathering out and looks crazy. I posted pictures of him as a chick in this thread.

I am thinking the same thing. VERY pretty. I am really enjoying this breed. I am toying with getting more and making their own run and coop. They are so pretty and so sweet!

Thanks for the compliments everyone!! I will post more pictures once they start getting more feathers in. Here is a link to the pictures of the chicks that hatched out about a week ago: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.167077473417761.34427.167014923424016&type=3 I have another light blue chick that is not in those pictures.

Greetings!

Just to let everyone know I'm still plunking along here in Maine .

I have plenty of porcelain Teddi hens and the offspring of Teddi hens. Bantams are not "flying off the shelf" in sales here.....Mainers want LARGE fowl egg layers!

I have a few mille fleurs too, but their color is inconsistant.....working on that. The millies at the Central Maine Show were NOT the darker type.

And finally, I ordered some hatchery d'uccles in yellow neck and self blue. So few places to get those varieties that I had to cave in and hope....


I'm still here and I love my d'Uccles!

I find the same thing with here in FL about selling them. Very small market for them.
