the vets I work for say its fine. I would not be afraid of eating it but idk if it might be a problem for ppl with certain med allergies . . . but at that point I would imagine the concentration would be VERY small amounts

That's what I thought, it's not like I'm super medicating them or anything. We have eaten the eggs (my dad and son) with no problems. So How many should I bring? Bite-sized deviled eggs? I get about 20 a day, so I should be able to get about 60 eggs, would that be enough? Or should I do some chicken eggs too?

I saw that too, I'm thinking they mean black mottled? Mille fleur is the buff with white and black spotted ones.

Their are more variation's of the Mille Fleur color than just the the normal color you are thinking of. The difference is in the chicks...you can see it plane as day.

Mille Fleur is the color, d'uccles is the breed. There are many different color of d'uccles.

ETA: A list of d'uccles colors taken from the Belgian d'Uccle and Booted Bantam website at http://www.belgianduccle.org/

"This is how the d'Uccles were entered into the APA Standard of Perfection by year:

1914 Mille Fleur

1981 White

1965 Porcelain

1996 Black

1996 Golden Neck

1996 Self Blue

1996 Mottled

The American Bantam Association recognized these varieties above and also Blue, Buff, and Gray as early as 1985.

Other varieties that have been showing up in the show rooms are: Quail, Brown Red, Butterscotch, Blue Mille Fleur, Buff Columbian, Columbian, Red, Blue Red, Blue Red Mottled, Blue Mottled, and Silver Mille. Also Rose Comb d'Uccles have starting to show up in the show rooms in Mille Fleur and Mottled varieties so far, this is a new breed all its own and no standard has been submitted to date."

So there are black d'uccles, and mille fleur d'uccles, but no black mille fleur. Hope this helps

I've re-read the first 20 pages and looked at Indiana maps! My eyeballs are getting tired.

I tried to do the 'cliff notes' last night, I gave up after about post 100. People changing what they are bringing, and things like that, it was just too confusing!
