The Porcelain d'Uccle Bantam is realated to the Millle Fleur d'Uccle Bantam and the Belgain d'Uccle Bantam. It was introduced in the U.S in 1965, though its popularity is very small. The Porcelain d'Uccle is a true bantam breed. They have full beards and feathered feet. They are not a cold hardy breed and do better in free ranging situations. This breed is broody and makes a great mom for hatching eggs. This breed is very docile and have great personalities, they also are a great show bird and have known to make 1st prize.

Had a handful of roosters.
Pros: If Handled Young can be very sociable.
Cons: Tiny. will get eaten if they wonder from the flock.
My experience with the Procelain Duccle is a Joyous one. I have found them to handle well and even be one of the easiest of my flock to scoop up outside the coop. I work with the bantams to make sure they will handle well as they get older. I can definitely say i enjoy their sounds immensely its very unique to the flock.

Pros: Beautiful, fun to watch, good for small flocks
Cons: Don't like being handled, poor layers
I have two of these beautiful chickens, a male and a female. I don't get what people mean by the males being unfriendly--both are so sweet! The female hates being held and will run off, but the male is very sweet to us! He acts like a rooster, of course, and bosses the other birds around. I'd recommend these birds as protectors of the flock and ornamental birds.

Pros: Small, beautiful, excellent free ranger, friendly, docile
Cons: Poor layers
I’ve got one Porcelain D’Uccle girl. She is quirky and odd but it makes her fun to watch. She can typically be found away from the rest of the group, scratching up dirt to get some treats. For her small size she can reach some of the highest spots in the coop. Bottom of the pecking order but super sweet and top of the list for the family.

Love love love my two girls. Very sweet and know their names. Have yet to see eggs from them due to their young age. But for a TSC buy both are almost 100% perfect of the breed minus the beard.

I guess I have one. I got a Silkie chick from Tractor Supply, the more I researched the Silkie breed the more I thought that there was no way this was a Silkie. Maybe it’s a parakeet I thought, maybe it’s dwarf of something else...I finally posted on here a picture of her and low and behold I was told that she is a d uncle bantam. I know nothing about these birds. To the internet I go.

I have two of these i got with my silkies and my light brahma.. Glad someone here could identify this breed for me. Pretty chickens. Mine are so teeny tiny compared to my silkies and brahma. at 4 weeks lol. I find them to like getting picked up better than the silkies i have, hopefully mine are females, since it appears the roosters are attack dogs lol. i need to look into the cold tolerances of these guys more.
