Ouch! Maybe that's why so many of the others look like pullets ... the law of 50/50 averages needs to catch up!

The whole reason I got them is because I needed a single cockerel in porcelain... like I said I should have just gotten your pair

Now I have 8 pullets... no cockerel....
and way more pairs in the Mille fleur than I wanted

Hi Again - Curiosity's gotten the better of me! Did you end up with a cockerel? I know the d'Uccles can be a bit slow maturing ... I think the beards hide any early wattle development. If you genuinely did end up with all pullets (any other time, that's what we want, but never get, right?,) I still have my young rooster, Fella. If you don't need a mature hen (she's a year old) he can go solo. I can put Featherfoot in with my other bantams.
If you need a home for the Milles Fleurs, the Cecil County School of Technology has a fledgling bantam flock. They might be interested in a few more. They took my extra Sebrights, last year, and one of my Nankin bantam roosters has the run of the classroom whenever the kids are indoors. It's a pretty cool program.

Believe it or not I still don’t think so...
the Mille Fleur d’uccle (same age) are all showing clearly either way...
the porcelain I keep watching their combs but they are all WHITE combs still no sign of any pink and nothing larger than a baby bump
I have one I keep hoping will change over night....

I’d be open to your pair... I mean at this point I’m going to have a troupe of pullets

I would only have Mille cockerels and not sure I’m willing to drive to Cecil county for that lol

We have a small 4H flock that is doing well at the County Fair, so far. Although we'd like to expand, we don't have the space or resources, so we have some nice birds available from time to time. If you're ever traveling I-95, we're not too far off the beaten path, so maybe ... who knows? Maybe you'll have to pack along a travel kennel on your next trip to Disney! :)
