Aww, four beautiful Millie Fleur d'Uccle. One of my favorite!
Why are they your favorite? We are obsessed with our bantams. We have 6 silkies, one Sebright, and two OEGB. They are our babies! 😍

Bantam Cochins are my favorite. Second is d'Uccle, third Serama, fourth OEGB.
They are social, friendly, sweet natured, big personalities, somewhat talkative and beautiful to watch.
We have 18 Cochins in 11 colors/feather types plus 20 babies in the brooder, 15 Seramas, five of the hens sitting on eggs, 8 d'Uccle in three colors with about 10 babies in the brooders. In OEGB we have 8 in 4 colors with 11 babies in brooders.
We also have a few silkies, a pair of Japanese, a buff laced sebright and suspect the wrong birds that were sent to us are also buff laced sebright, so 13 more. We have a lonely modern game bantam hen and 17 large girls in 8 breeds for big eggs. We also just ordered 30 chicks to get my daughter her d'Anvers. First try, they sent the wrong birds, second hatchery, only one lived out of 15. Hopefully third try is a charm.
They are my absolute obsession!

Non descript chicks in the brooder bin at TSC. Amazing they sell them.
But when you know what they are by toes, leg color, skin color, markings, down color, comb type, you know what you are getting. Today I picked out 6 silver laced bantam Cochins. Last week I got there Belgian quail d'Anvers, two porcelain d'Uccle, two self blue d'Uccle, two Millie d'Uccle, and three bbr OEGB. Two weeks prior I chose, two spangled and two silver duckwing OEGB, two self blue d'Uccle and a silver and a gold sebright. Don't ask me what the large breeds are though. I can pick out buttercups and EEs.

I have learned a lot about bantams! We intentionally grabbed 6 silkies. The sebright and oegb we didn’t know. I thought these may be d’Uccles, but I wasn’t sure. My neighbor and I are co parents. She had the lf birds and they’re so sweet and socialized!
