I need help with colour and gender of my d'Uccle chicks

[ctrl-alt-doll]

My chicks are three week old today and I think they are all pullets.

Their combs are pale yellow, almost white and can't be seen rising above the feathers in profile side on.

1. I think this is a porcelain pullet

2. Silver laced? Not sure if a pullet or cockerel

3. White pullet?

4. White and frizzle or D'Uccle pullet? Developing slower than the rest and much smaller.

I would appreciate your opinions. Many thanks.

Too young to sex yet. Males will start to develop pink combs by 5-6 weeks. As far as color, 3 looks like a porcelain, the first looks like a Millie fleur. The rest I can't tell.

Where did you get them from? What did they have. Send a web adress, that would help a lot.

Are they pure d'uccles?
Never heard of a silver laced or drizzle D'uccle.
1 looks to be a mille fleur.
2 unsure. Maybe poorly marked mille fleur.
3 and 4 Look to be porcelain.

Too young to sex. Could you post some more pics at six weeks please? Then we can tell Their gender, and coloring for sure.

Sorry, I’ve not had any notices of new posts or I would have been back sooner.

I found this post that shows d'uccle comb development by 4 weeks

Mine still don’t show any comb.

I’ll take new photos tomorrow. They will be 4 weeks.

I still don’t think #1 is a Mille Fleur. They are much darker than that. I think that’s the porcelain and the two light in colour are white.

Here is a video of their first adventure outside
