D'uccle Thread

whats in the mix of this one? (colors)

I don't know who mom or dad was, but the D'uccle part is all Millie. Silkie part was either white, or splash.

Hmmmmmm......well, mine actually had less color variation than your little gold one. Maybe it will be a super cool, fun color!! Keep posting as he/she gets older

Not the greatest pics but this is the chick that could be a golden neck, or ??? Your thoughts appreciated, but sorry it was moving!!!



Also in pic is BO Broody momma, splash silkie baby that is one day older and huge compared to d'uccle and 1 of the two black mottled babies. Leah... I am hoping they are pure with no golden splashes in there!

Stewzoo, is that silkie mix super soft? She looks like she would be. I just wanna pick her up and cuddle her! The goldneck is beautiful too.

quick question...ok there is someone on facebook that says they raise golden necks i questioned them about it because it looks like a white with gold leakage and they go and tell me that they don't raise mixes. on another pic of a silver laced Cochin mix they proceed to say its a silver laced Cochin (not including the mixed part) someone else questioned if it was a mix and said person goes on to say yea its a mix and You know all we raise is mixes in rabbits and chickens.. this raises a very bright red flag to me what do yall think? i proceed to ask a question about the d'uccle (if it was gonna get more coloring and spangles) also letting them know i have 2 goldens that look nothing like this and this person has yet to answer my question...so what do yall think??

I'm not real sure what your question here is. If you're wondering if that's a Golden Neck, it's not. Even if it was a Golden Neck it would be a poor one-type is terrible.

The cochin looks awful, very pretty but totally messed up on type and comb and color, very much a mix. Still learning about duccles so can't have an opinion about that yet.

 

[sager:)silkies]

what is good type on a mille flur d'uccle ?

 

[fuzzybutt love]

Idk either, but i'd say that given the mixed messages the individual was looking to make more than the bird was worth, or they don't know as much as they thought they did. You just happened to be more educated than the typical buyer, hence the lack of answer. If you are looking for a pure bird, i would say no to this one.

For those that know me, I've had mille fleur d'uccles for several years. Friday night, raccoons broke into my pen and killed my beloved rooster Bundle and 3 outstanding hens that were the results of several generations of breedings. I might need to buy eggs from someone that has good stock, as these were really good quality. Bundle was SO friendly, he won 1st place at the State fair and they even used him as the ambassador with the kids. I feel awful. I have his sons...very good looking cockerels but I need better quality hens. Please PM me if you have good SQ birds and are willing to ship me eggs. Money is not an issue. I'm very upset over this. Bundle is the one who originally inspired me to show my mille fleurs. My heart is heavy right now.

Oh, that's terrible. I'm so very sorry.

There isn't anything I can say to help you feel better - I wish there was....I don't have good stock right now, but I'll keep you in mind when I get to that point. Hopefully there are people who have quality birds right now who can send eggs to you. My very best wishes to you.
