Hello All,
I have a great 4H project for some chicken-minded youngster. Fella and FeatherFoot are porcelain d'uccles, hatched around Easter of 2018, so they're barely a year old. They are hand-raised, friendly and both took ribbons at the Cecil County Fair, last year. They're super-sweet, talkative little birds - they'll warble a conversation with you!
The original intention was to breed this pair (she lays 3-5 eggs a week,) but DD has college plans, now ... so we're downsizing. I really hate to let these two go, as they're absolutely gorgeous birds (IMHO, anyway!) Pictures do not do their plumage justice. The gray is dove-colored and the off white is a creamy beige. Fella's hackles and saddles have a golden undertone to them and when he's not allowed access to a chipped run, his foot plates are so big that he walks like he's wearing snowshoes!
The first 5 pics were taken last week. The last one is of the pair last fall. Check out Fella's foot feathers!
Please share the pics with anyone you think may be interested in taking on this really nice pair. We're in the north-eastern corner of MD. To the right buyer (price negotiable, to support a youngster's 4H habit!) I'm willing to drive a bit.
