D'uccle Thread

The chick in my avatar looks like it would have too much white, right? But here is what she turned out to be

Geez, even if she has too much white, I think she is super pretty! I have one with too much black. Ugh! It's so hard to get them just right!!
 
Having the one white wing clumo might be too much white for mine. Her wings look to be more white dominated than black. Will have to work on that coloring..thanks
 
This baby is 9 weeks, I thought she was so cute from day one her name Penguin. Can't wait to see what she will give me thrown back with her father.
mottled plumage is black with white v-shaped markings on the tips of some of the feathers, typically one feather out of two over most of the body. in males, the black is highly lustrous: in females it is a little duller.

this might help to :)

Also some where in this a Marans got a hold of my Mille's after these eggs were hatched and got these, thinking I had Black D'Uccles, Here's a girl and second is of some boys cute aren't they. The Marans roo found a way in their run and I didn't know it until I caught him. Sure glad I wasn't selling eggs, that would have been bad.

i'n surprised the marans didn't squish the hens but those are pretty i would try breeding them together if they aren't brothers and sisters to see what developed out of them
