Week old Millie fleurs

[Painted Calls]

From a private seller. Not an actual breeder. He said one of the roosters was from Germany and the hens were his own breeding. The rooster was black all over. He also said they were pure millie fleur. Which ones do you think are mixed?
I will post photos of the hens and rooster he had.

From the sounds of this they all may be mixed to some degree.

Mille Fleur isn't a breed, it's a pattern/color. The breed is d'Uccle.

Most have the wrong skin color for a d'Uccle, less feathering on the legs and feet that I'd expect, off patterns, and one has a rose comb.

That's a shame. Some of them have more white feathers than others. So I shouldn't breed them? The man said that he replaces the rooster every year.

I thought my Millie fleur d’ Uccle was a pullet until he was about 2 1/2-3 weeks old, then I started suspecting he was a cockerel. Post more pictures in a week or 2.

You can breed them if you wish. That's up to you.

If you're wanting to produce quality d'Uccles, I would look for more pure stock from a more reliable/knowledgeable source.

Here are pics of my Mille Fleur D'uccle (Lady) for reference. Take into account she is a TSC chick, not breeder quality.

I'm not going to breed them in that case. I do have a broody hen sitting on dummy eggs right now so maybe I will buy some fertile ones. Probably not. Anyway thanks for the replies.

Here’s my male d’ Uccle. First picture is 7 weeks, second picture is 3 1/2 weeks.

Sorry your chicks aren’t what you wanted. They are still pretty though.

They are still pretty though.

For sure! Love the excessive white.
