Hatching Mille Fleur D'uccles, so excited!

[topochico225]

Hey y'all!

I'm setting 12 D'uccle eggs this coming week in my 'bator, and I'm so excited! I love bantams, but D'uccles are one of my favorite breeds!

I had a couple questions:

When can you sex them/how can you sex them? It's illegal where I live to have roosters.
What's their temperament?
Are they good layers?
What are y'all's experiences with the breed?

TIA!

Exciting! You can sex them usually around six or seven weeks old when Saddle feathers begin to grow in

How did the hatch go if I may ask?

How'd it go??

 

[topochico225]

AH! Sorry y'all, I never got notifications. 2 out of 12 hatched, and they're beautiful little pullets!

Aw yay I’m glad at least a couple hatched for you! Condolences on the low hatch rate though, would love to see pics !!!

You can find pics on my Hatch-a-Long thread, and I'm also working on a thread that tracks the chicks' growth!
