Silkied D’Uccles Project

Unfortunately I lost two of the youngest babies yesterday to a hen killing them

I've been reading through this thread, and I'm so interested in what you're doing! I've got a Porcelain d'Uccle (I think, though one person said they thought self blue) that is 4 weeks now, and a silkie that I just got on Sunday that I reckon is maybe a week? I also think I've got a Mille Fleur d'Uccle, also bought on Sunday.

I definitely don't want to hijack your thread, but I wanted to ask if you would mind looking at my chick and seeing if you might be able to tell me if he or she is in fact a Mille Fleur d'Uccle? I would love an expert's thoughts!

I am very interested in breeding my 2 d'Uccles together (if that's what they both are), and I'm considering breeding my d'Uccles to my cochins. The one lone silkie was technically an accident, they only had 4 bantams left and I got them all. I love the bird, I just was surprised to find those 5 toes, lol.

I don’t mind taking a look!

I don’t mind taking a look!

Thank you so much! This is Quinn. I got Quinn on Sunday from the bantam bin at Rural King, and he or she is so tiny. I didn't realize at first (just can't see down into those bins) that the feet are feathered. But I was pretty excited to see that they are.
