I am debating between booted bantams or d'uccle bantams. I found a breeder for both breeds. Now come deciding! I'm looking for something that is more for breeding purposes and that I can sell chicks from. I'm not sure of the personalities either.
 
I had Mille Fleur d'Uccles and really enjoyed them. Chicks were quick sellers and so were hatching eggs. They were a joy to keep and I missed them.

That's what I was leaning toward. Glad to hear that they were good. How are the roosters temperaments if you had one? Do you know anything about booted bantams?
 
I don't know anything about booted bantams, so take my favorite for what it's worth!

We had a older rooster that could be a little feisty if I reached into the cage, but was fine when they were out and about. I normally wouldn't even tolerate that, but his size made it manageable. We didn't have any problems with any of the other roosters that we raised. My daughter had one that followed everyone around like a puppy. He was very friendly.
 
Sounds awesome looks like I will be getting D'uccles. Where did you get your chickens from. Do you also know where I can get good hatching eggs. THe other breeder ran out.
 
I've had Belgian d'Uccles for many years, and like them a lot! Mine aren't show birds, but nice to have around, and good layers and broodies. Also hardy here in Michigan. I've had a couple of nasty cockrels (who left!!!) but mostly very nice boys, nor human aggressive. The males tend to tolerate each other very well, so having more than one in the flock has been fine.

I don't. Mine came from a local person that was getting out of them. He got them from a few different breeders. Sorry I'm no help.
