You were close!

Mille Fleur d'Uccle (milly floo-er dew-CLAY is how to pronounce it).

The d'Uccles are a true Belgian Bantam, and the Mille Fleur is their coloring... meaning "thousand flowers"... because of the white spangles on the tips of their feathers.

There are some good photos here, too. I love the porcelains, but hubby won't let me get another color. Says I have enough critters... I guess he's right.

I can put you on the list for Spring, if you would like a call-back.

Christina nailed the genders weeks ago!

I kept hoping she was wrong on a couple of them, because we all want more hens, but I'm so happy with the crew I have. They're due to start laying sometime in January, I believe.

Sorry to take so long getting back, been busy w/the chicks and sick with the flu/cold crud... here's my "pet parrot" that has the sweetest voice and personality that I was thinking was a girl but now??? I'll try to get a new pic tonight as this one is from this summer/fall...

Here's updates on the silkies: (They're still in w/the EE chicks & one of Blue (Andalusian) first offspring)

All four are doing great Next time I'll just try for a foursome group shot!

The one you think is black (550) is very dark blue. I like that color.

The pullets have nice lacing. Woot! eggs!

I'll be watching for how your last roo grows out. He should be handsome.
