Gold Neck D'uccle

[JacinLarkwell]

I need help picking who is staying for my breeding project, and I cannot for the life of me fond the D'uccle breed thread apparently.

I'll post pictures of the possible choices, if anyone who sees this knows anyone that breeds Gold Necks or even D'uccles in general, please tag them. Feel like I'll need all the help I can get

Here's the D'uccle thread. I think @Laura_BelgianBantams_63 breeds them. @cinnamoncockatiel did, but they have since left BYC.

Thank you so much. I spent like 20 minutes searching this morning and had nothing

Here are the 3 boys, lost who was in my opinion the best one last night. The leg feathers also increase with the color each boy has (whitish has the least, the gold fronted has the most).

The two females I have are very light, with one almost all white. They're staying because it's too late to order even more of these guys, and they're some of the calmer birds I have. But I don't know if it would be best to use the most colored male because of how light the females are.

The white really isn't likely to stay, has most just there because I grabbed all the boys I had at once

I think it’s a little early to tell who’s the best to breed based off of feather and coloring alone, you’ll get a better idea after their first adult molt and as they get older and less teenager-ish, I like the type of the light cockerel the best, but the cockerel behind him holds his tail the highest. Either way they’re all adorable little guys

I’d say one of the darker boys, because the first one is super light. But yeah they’re too young to know who looks the best for sure..thanks for the tag @Laura_BelgianBantams_63 ! I love a good d’Uccle thread

I would love to keep them all that long, however we just don't have the set into keep so many extra males. Me and my mom figured the darkest would be a good one because of the leg feathers too

Hi! Update? How’d he end up looking?

Whoops, totally forgot about this.

This is Soren. His girls are Nyra and Gilfy, though he's currently penned with a bantam polish instead
