I have 7 years and 11 months left, not that I'm counting...
I called my booted bantams d'uccle for a year after I bought them, but the more I read the more I'm afraid to call them d'uccle. They are bearded, but the males' combs and wattles are much larger than what I have learned is acceptable for SQ d'uccle, so I advertise them as booted bantams. Most people probably wouldn't know the difference, but I wouldn't want to sell them as d'uccle then have someone get DQed trying to show them and blame me. I don't want to get a bad reputation. They are beautiful birds, and awesome pets. I started with a mille fleur hen and a mixed rooster, and they are throwing mille fleur and black mottled. They give the polish a run for the cutest babies. They are hatched with the feathers on their feet, and the rooster's grow astonishingly long
