I would love to join this thread I have a pair of millie fleur belgian d'uccle's They were my first chickens and I fell in love with them the moment I saw them. I have had them for about 4 months. I think they are about 6 months old but Lucy my hen has not started laying yet. Chester is my roo.
This is Lucy
This is Chester
Beautiful birds, but Chester has too big of wattles. Lucy is very pretty!
chester doesn't have a beard which would make him a booted bantam insteadI would love to join this thread I have a pair of millie fleur belgian d'uccle's They were my first chickens and I fell in love with them the moment I saw them.

it sounds like it might be mites they slowly kill chickens. if it was mites you may have been able to isolate her someweres away from the coop and other chickens and she may have gotten better but you would have to treat all the chickens and the whole coop every nook and cranny of the pen and coop. mites come out at night to feed on the chickens blood, unlike lice these don't live on the body of the chicken but it might be a good idea to also check for lice on the birds during the day and mites at night
6 months to a year old. with it getting colder she may not start laying till next year i have about 10 pullets that are 6-8 months old that have yet to lay (all different breeds)
Quote: I want some. Got some pictures, someone forgot to send them.
Hey what price do you all get for your day old d'Uccles?
StewZoo, I'm in Wisconsin too, who/where is the breeder where you got your millies? I am always looking for other D'Uccles around here
