Heavy muffs & beards are best, and the bull neck. But watch the broad chest. That's where there seemed to be issues, from the judge's perspective.

Got and answered the PM. His mottling isn't perfect, but he's young still. It will be interesting to see what his chicks look like!

fdsgsghjksgslghsl!!!! You have a mottled self-blue!?

I LOVE THEM!

When I get my chicks and they age a little, would yall mind looking at them for me and seeing if any are SQ? It probably wont be until March but thought I'd ask ahead.

I know I asked yall before but imma throw it out there. If anyone had chicks or eggs (d'uccles) please PM me c:

But they are still young. You won't know until they have gotten their adult feathers.

the only one that has any potential is the pullet.

Quote: Where did you learn to vent sex? I have always wanted to learn how to vent sex. I figure with a little practice, it couldn't be too hard, right

I mean I can sex young rabbits, so, chicks can't be too much harder... I hope LOL

I've watched a couple videos, just haven't actually dried vent sexing yet. Definitely on my bucket list though!

I just wanted to ask you what you all think, Standard wise, of a couple of my birds?

Mille fleur pullet, 2 months. In my opinion, she has great color.















Mille fleur cockerel, 2 months. He has no white on him (except one completely white hidden feather), but he's still young.

Mille fleur pullet #2, 2 months old. Has alot of white on back feathers now.













Let me know what you think!! Thanks!

If I'm going to play with color, I prefer to use birds that I know quite well. I can't post photos on BYC right now (they just won't load for some reason), but you can see them on my website...
