You think they are both girls? The black one has a much bigger comb then blue, though it's mottled so it blends in. I hope not, I need a roo other then my mille boy. I had 9, but the evil neighbors cat broke into my coop and killed the others that I had out of that hatch, plus a few of my standard birds. The cat has been rehomed and these 2 peeps have been hanging out with a faverolles roo and a cochin hen that also lost their siblings. You can see part of 'Boba Fett' the faverolles roo towering over the blue chick even though he isn't much older. lol
both appear like pullets but with hatchery ones they can change as my pullet changed to a cockerel on meAmazingly they came from TSC, though she has a slight peach color shining through, so maybe a very light golden neck. I don't have a white roo to breed her to, but I do have a 5 week old black mottled roo, that would probably be the better choice then the mille, so I don't get a bunch of mismarked chicks. The white girl is only 4 months old and not laying yet, but as soon as she does I will test hatch some eggs and see what I get from her. Even if they are mismarked, as long as they have her personality I will probably want to keep every one of them. She is my favorite little chicken in the world, very sweet to other birds, pets and also people. We take care of someone with dementia and she is somewhat of a therapy bird for him. She actually was on my back, chatting with me, as I was taking the pics of the little guys just now, what a goober. If I get something decent from her line I could mail you some eggs if you want.
He has very nice fluffy cheeks and an interesting pattern, but they are a bit ugly right now as they are getting their feathers
and here is the little blue mottled hen, at least I hope it's a hen, I thought Freddy was a roo too, hence the name
this is NOT true with hatchery birds sorry...i swore up and down when my blue mille was 8 weeks old but then at 12 weeks yea nope not a pullet but a nice cockerel you can see them in my albums...at least i think i got the ages right
i thought i had 2 pullets and 2 cockerels NOPE i had 3 cockerels and 1 pullet lol my blue millie did a sex change on meIn my experience you can tell the gender of a d'Uccle easily by 5 weeks. But that's just me. The OP's birds are definitely both girls
