Actually let me correct myself: I typed in Belgium roosters and cockerels at yahoo pics and wikipedia, not chickens.....sorry about that, things are crazy at my place today.

Thanks!!! Feathersite has a page on the Belgian d'Uccles Bantam and notes that the Mille Fleur is the most common color variety in the U. S. You nailed it.

p.s. When I was at that feed store and asked which varieties were in the Assorted Bantams bin, the employee told me they were all Bantams: "That's the breed." Um, okay. ;-)

Right, maybe we were at the same TSC!! yeah, I like TSC but when it came to Chic Days, the store associates weren't as much help as other times.

Not the greatest pic, and not the greatest memory. Six weeks? Maybe?
Since these two are always together, we joke that they are one bird occupying two bodies, like Miss Level in Terry Pratchett's Discworld books. Her(his) name is Frida Kahlo.
