i manged to get them out of the feed stores bin (i looked for chicks that had d'uccle chick qualities) while hoping to pick out pullets until i find and hatch colors im looking for from breeders...i will take pics as soon as i can its raining here today and i also should have some eggs hatch/pip by tomorrow
Those are adorable white silkie chicks!I was wondering what y'all think? I am a first time chick owner & I wanted Mille fleur D'uccles & this is what the store got me. They claimed they were labeled as D'uccles in shipping. But I thought that D'uccles never had black skin. So...what do I have? The top photos were from yesterday & the bottom from about a week ago. What ever breed they are they are sweethearts & I plan to keep them, still I'm curious! I also got 3 other Chicks of different breeds. Thanks for any input.
They are so fluffy! Sorry they are not D'uccles but keep looking if your interested. They are both great breeds.Good luck with them
What do you think?
Silkies & d'Uccles get along well. If you love these chicks, then I'd see what the store is willing to do in order to get you the correct chicks.
Here in Missouri, they are called dee uckles at the shows and I got funny looks when I called them 'dewclays'. I personally want to call them 'dookles' because I think it sounds cute.so Dee OOOOkle (Scooooby dooo) is the right way to say it.
In my mind, I was saying Deee uckle. I haven't had to say it out loud before. Now I feel prepared and will also know what people are talking about with other ways to say the word.
