Hey, Jane. Just came across this thread. I just love D'uccles. Enjoying the pics from everyone very much. Question...Are you breeding your blues? I tried to order eggs from someone on eggbid awhile back, but I never got them in. I'd love to get my hand on some eggs or chicks. Here are a couple of pics of my D'uccles. I don't know much about show quality, I just like to look at them.
I lost my hen...so need a girlfriend for my boy or may breed him to my black pullet.....I LOVE the dark color of your Millie roo....to die for..are all your Millies dark colored like this?? Would you sell a pair??? Where did you get them????? Beautiful!! Jane

I only have a pair of d'Uccles right now. The ones I have are Millie Fluer, but I used to raise Porcelain, and very high up on my 'want list' are Black Mottled.
Here is my rooster (he cannot be shown because he has sidesprigs - a disqualifying comb type)
Here is my hen (she has done fairly well in shows)
Here is the gorgeous little pullet I had up until an accident just recently
(in her short life of shows, she won two Class Champions along with other placings)

I was once told by a d'Uccle breeder to save the hens from a hatch, that were decent on other aspects, and compare the whiteness after their second molt, then keep the darkest ones.
