hmmm.... really "show quality?"

[americana-chick]

can you tell me if my porcelain d'uccle bantam pair are show quality? i have not done enough research on porcelain d'uccles to know if they are show quality. they are a little over 6 months old. by the time my next fair comes along they should already be molted. but from your perspective i need to know if they even have a chance to win in any contest. thanks!

both together. (not best pose)

males tail.

females tail.

male

female
definatly not her best pose.

i am not the best at getting good pictures but they do pose.

They look pretty good to me. Although I'm not an expert on the breed

From what I read about Porcelain Dutches, you have a good balance of the cream and gray. But as far as standards for the D'Uccles I don't know, sorry. Thay are both very pretty birds.

Are you going to sell eggs from them in the Spring?

i don't have an educated opinion about their show quality. Just wanted to say they are gorgeous!

i might but the female hasnt started laying yet and if you wanted pure breeds i would have to seperate them from the rest of the flock and hope that te male starts being more fertile. but if i do that i will be sure and let you know. and remember porcelains stink at being fertile! but i will sure try for you!

I only have the mille fleurs so not sure on these but all you can do is try

Than you know if they are or not. Where did you get them? Breeder or hatchery?

 

[americana-chick]

here are some younger pictures of the birds. i actually got them to somewhat pose! but that was when they were like 1 to 2 months old.

i bought them from our local feed store. at first i thought they were mixed breeds because you can never rely on a feed store to give you quality breeds but later on i found at they were not mixed breeds. i was surprised!

I dont have a trained eye for this breed yet to comment on their show-worthiness, but I love this porcelain color. You are not helping here, my dear.

My DH is going to absolutely shun me, but I may just have to have some.

im sorry! XD like i said when i first got these birds i thought they were mixed breeds because i had never seen any other bird like them. but then i found out they were not mixed. and i think they are BEAUTIFUL!!! make sure and tell your DH that if he lets you get some you will let him get a 4 wheeler or something!
