3 weeks tomorrow, they look so small compared to some of the ones being posted! The one has such orange legs!! They are starting to fly around a little, my youngest calls it turning on their zoomies!

Luv the colors!

They are, at least two of them anyways. Two hatched from mint green eyes and one (the one with the orange legs) hatched from a small brownish/pink almost round egg.

I had 5 eggs hatch (keep the 3 girls) from the same flock in July and this is how they turned out (their siblings). 2 have full beards and muffs (cream/silver and blue) and the golden one I am not sure her mix.

The golden one could be a Buff Ameraucana, unless you know of sure she's mix of some sort!

Oh! Those f2s are looking so good!!! How many hatches did it take u to get to this point?! I'm told to be prepared for hundreds of chicks and only end up with a handful good outta that!

I’ve probably hatched around 30-40 chicks and only 3 have made the cut to stay. Hopefully these new f2s will have some more pullets.
Here they are

I’ve got a thread that follows the growth of the breed. https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/mottled-d’uccles-project-2.1502692/

Gorgeous birds you have there! Looks like you’re making progress in your project as well.

Thanks!

They're 4 weeks old tomorrow, well-feathered, and just about ready to go into the main coop.

See how easy Australorps are to sex at this age?

Alas, I believe that the splash is female.

They are pretty obvious aren’t they?? I think my splash Cochin is a boy…it’s always the gender you don’t want!
