My Newest Babies.

[SherrieT]

It's so hard to tell from pics.

We are in the process of down sizing our flock so I envy you your adorable chicks.

60% hatch on shipped eggs are great.

This will be the first spring we have not hatched any. We have a few hens sitting but its not the same as watching those first pips.

Quote:

One of the Belgian true bantams, the bearded and booted Mille Fleur d'Uccle is one of the prettiest of fowl. The d'Uccles also occur in other color varieties, such as Porcelain, Black Mottled, Self Blue (self means solidly one colour), and Blue Mille Fleur. The Mille Fleur pattern consists of a ground colour of mahogany, with each feather marked with a crescent shaped bar of black and tipped with a V-shaped white spangle. The true colouring does not usually appear until the first adult molt. The Porcelains are patterned the same way, but the ground colour is straw, and the barring blue with a white tip. In French, Mille Fleur means "multitude of flowers" and refers to the colourful feather patterns.

Your bottom one looks like a Rhode Island Red--or at least, it looks like my RIR babies! WTG on your babies!
