We have babies!

[tn_artist]

Icy, my daughters porcelain d'Uccle has been setting six eggs. As of this morning, she has five babies. Four in the picture and one tucked under her wing while I was holding her. I didn't realize until I took the empty shells out and there was only one egg left.

Aw! Such a great feeling, isn't it? Any idea what breed the babies are?

I'm sure they are mixed. In this pen are an EE cockrel, 2 d'Uccle cockrels, a porcelain and a millie fleur. Pullets are all the above breeds plus 2 OEGB, one bb red, one splash; 1 black rosecomb bantam and a white frizzle bantam cochin.
I know two of the black ones have feathered feet, so I'm guessing rosecomb mama and d'Uccle dad. The multi colored one looks like all of my EE's have looked as a baby and the white one is probably the frizzles, but I can't remember if the white babies legs were feathered.
Edit to add: and one Welsummer. she and the EEs only started laying recently- after Icy started to set, so no big chicken except EE roo. Plus all the eggs were little.
