only? :lau I wanted 4-5 hens and a roo and ended up with about 50 chickens and muscovy ducks within a year :oops:


I don't have that much now as the low changed and I can have 30 only. btw I live on a small plot and have no room even for 30 chickens as I have a small garden too.

They all know we are CaRazY!!! I mean we got cute chickens after all! Who does that?! My friend that does my hair has "real" chickens...she refers to mine as "special"!

Depending on how much work you are willing to take on you could start a porcelain satin project with porcelain d'uccles crossed with your handsome boy there.
I luv a challenge 🤪 ! I keep forgetting it is the Mille fleur that I need! Not salmon faverolles or duccles!!!
God only knows what I may end up with here!!!
Thank u!​

Mille fleur is a color.. its an option with D'uccles, but there have been some successful efforts in taking the color to other breeds, like cochins, silkies, and SATINSSSS 😍😍😍
