Roy,
You have (that I know of):
Mille Fleur d'uccle
Splash or very light blue Mille Fleur d'uccle
Porcelain d'uccle
You could get a regular Mille Fleur d'uccle rooster to cover all of them, the babies from the Porcelain would be split for the porcelain color and look like regular mille fleurs. You could breed the sons back to the mothers and get some pure porcelains again, or breed sibling to sibling. Porcelain is lavender on the mille fleur pattern.
Using a regular Mille Fleur d'uccle rooster with the splash or light blue hen would give you (if she is splash) all blue mille fleur offspring, or (if she is blue) blue and regular mille fleur offspring.
Clear as mud?
Tara, my d'Ucccle genetics expert
I have a Black Mottled d'Uccle hen (pullet) but in my four years of showing and selling birds I have only seen one other Black Mottled d'Uccle, and that was before I got mine. I would love to find a Black Mottled d'Uccle rooster for her, but I don't think that's going to happen
Do you know another color I could put with her and still get some pure color of chicks (meaning a color(s) I could still show).
That's more difficult.
I am not sure how mottling and mille fleur would work. Are there black d'uccles? Probably harder to find than the mottled. White might work, also, but I don't know if the white in d'uccles is recessive or dominate. Have you tried asking Tadkerson here on byc?
