Porcelain d'uccle thread

[mistyhollow]

I tried to raise porcelain d'uccles from TSC all spring and didn't have any luck. Finally found a breeding pair and now I am raising my own porcelain chicks! These are booted Bantams but hope to have some Belgian Bearded ones soon!

The girl is a duccle, she has a beard. i got one from tsc before and she did poorly but sugar in the water and dipping her beak in it helped her pull through.

So I should look for a better quality rooster and keep the hen?

They are now just getting their adult feathers.




Need to get more photos of the hens soon.


Misty, personally, I would look for a better Rooster, specially if you want to breed d'Uccles.

Thanks for the advice. I did end up switching to a bearded d'cuccle rooster and rehoming my current rooster.

How about these? I got Minx and Jinx on April 22, 2014. They are pretty much fully grown now and one of them has started laying surprisingly. -shrugs- could have been a week old when i got them. Their feathers are cream and a little bit of white with blue mostly on their tail feathers.

These pics were taken on june 21,2014. ^-^ I need to post a newer one. Well so far my bantam hens are very sweet and quiet. The black one is Eros my banty rooster. Then I have two plymouth rock hens and I think the older "ladies" Ruby, and Rainbow might be commets.... Really not sure. And one more; my other rooster, the road island red "Roo". It was the ladies who kinda shied away from me taking a picture.

If its late in the season then they wont start laying till the weather is warmer.
