I have a couple of d'uccle questions. Can someone help please?

[Willowspirit]

Fwiw, I breed Mille Fleur d'Uccles for exhibition. Mine hatch out varying shades of brown and can be sexed extremely young with surprising accuracy. Currently I have 14 d'Uccle chicks.
6 porcelains - 3M 3F
6 sexed Mille Fleur - 2M 4F
2 straight run MF

Would you please look at the photos of my d’Uccles on post #22 and tell me if I still have a cockerel?

Sure thing.
I suspect that the chick on the right in the first pic is a cockerel.
Last pic, the one looking back over its shoulder appears to be a cockerel. The blurry face behind is a pullet. Others could swing either way, but I think it's more pullets than cockerels.

My feed store is done. Maybe I should wait until next spring.

When is your local County or State Fair? I'm sure you can find a 4H youth with extra birds this time of year. Their birds have to be inspected each time they come to an event, so you'll have a good shot at healthy birds ... besides, most 4H-ers are wonderfully diligent about making sure their birds are in good shape!

This is my favorite idea, if you have fresh pullets this year already. Because then next year you will have fresh pullets coming into lay again and laying through winter, usually by the time the older gals head into molt.

Is the stripe through the eye an indicator of a cockerel? I’m fine with whatever they are.

No.
In fact, that's something I've never seen before. Hatchery stock?

Yes. Wherever My Pet Chicken gets their stock.

Gotcha. Mine don't have eye stripes. They have head stripes.

I wanted to let you know that all of the chicks less one have tiny pale combs. The other one has a taller comb, red at the base. They are about a month old. The one with the comb is definitely the one you pointed out as male for certain. Congrats!
