Hi! I have a year old d'Uccle Roo that I got from a TSC bantam bin last year. His coloring has confused me since he started getting tail feathers. he mostly looks Porcelain, but then his tail throws me.
I know absolutely nothing of chicken color genetics, but in dogs I didn't think a true blue...
Hello. New member here. I usually just read and don’t always contribute but figured I’d say hi in case that changes. I live in Western Illinois with my husband on our little homestead. Currently have horses, ducks, geese, cats, dogs, and my chickens.
I list 10 of my ladies last year to a...
Hey everyone, need some advice! I have 3 Ameraucanas (quite old) 3 Golden Fleece Wyandottes and 4 beautiful Mille Fleur D'Uccles. The Wyandottes and D'Uccles are roughly the same age at 10 months old. In 2023 both breeds laid prolifically once they matured enough, and my D'Uccles lay up until...
I have a silkie/mille fleur d’uccle mix roo and Mille fleur, porcelain, and self blue hens.
If I breed him to the hens, what would I end up with?? Specifically the self blue d’uccle.

Im looking to show and breed D'uccles and We have this Rooster and Hen! I was wondering if these would be decent birds to start breeding from? If anyone who breeds or shows Belgian D'uccles could give me feedback on these two it would be greatly appreciated! (I can include better photos if...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I have had chickens since 2023 and my sister shows them for her FFA class
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I currently have about 41 chickens
(3) What breeds do you have?
We have a bunch of breeds including D'uccles...
I have 3 French (American) bresse hens that I bought as juveniles and enjoyed having so this year I jumped into chicks from tsc. Tsc makes you buy at least 4 so I got 1 cream legbar pullet (to be sure I got at least one female) and 3 feather footed bantams hoping for a silkie. My chicks are a...
I cannot keep cockerels! I only have two chicks so I’m hoping there is at least one pullet.
They are coming up on 3 weeks. I know that is too early but any suspicions are appreciated.
I tell them apart with the colors on their head. It’s just watered down food coloring and will grow out with...
2 Belgium D’uccle Roosters: Mille Fleur / Lavender Gray Colors
Two delightful little roosters, about 6 months old, no spurs yet. They are a fancy, sought-after bantam breed - Belgium D'uccles! One is colored Mille Fleur and the other is a Lavender Gray - both unique feather patterns/colors.
This...
I had one of my D'uccles turn out to be a roo. He started crowing recently.
This is my other D'uccle who hasn't started crowing and I am wondering if she may actually be a hen?
Just wanted some other opinions!
The feathers I thought were saddle feathers are actually coming off and being...
About 3 months old
Very friendly
Will eat out of your hand and will let you hold him
Hes crowing and I cannot keep him where I am located.

Hes free to a good home
Goodmorning!
I am a new chicken owner as of this year. We have a tiny little backyard flock of 3.
I have two Mille Fleur D'uccles that I have been watching to see if they are Roo's or Pullet's.
I'd love some feedback!
First two pictures are #1
Last two pictures are #2
Chicken #1 is very...
Just placed an order at Ideal Poultry, I’ve ordered once from them before but it was YEARS ago maybe in 2014. My orders due to ship 08/09 so I’m excited to hear from people about their experiences with Ideal nowadays!
My first ever order from them I ordered 8 assorted bantams and received 20...
I’m the first to admit I’m SUCH a newbie when it comes to the genetics of the color varieties of d’Uccles, but I’m wanting to learn more as i have some color variations I’m wanting to breed one day and I’m hoping to have a better understanding of what exactly I’ll be producing by doing so! So...
Got these as part of the bantam assortment at TSC, but I’m not sure what they are. Hatched 3/1, feathered feet. 4 toes.
Chick 1, who I think is a rooster
Hello! I just picked up these two. I'm unfamiliar with d'uccle colors and I'm not sure if this is just variation within the color or if the one without grey spots is a different color variety? Thanks for the help.
Recently I found one of my d'uccle banty hens with a pretty bad eye infection and treated her with eye medication and antibiotic. Her eye improved to the point where she can open it mostly with ease and theirs no more puss coming from it. But it is faded and there is no reaction from that side...
I would love to learn more about color genetics and have had a hard time narrowing down info. If I crossed my black mottled d'uccle hen with a porcelain rooster, what would the chick's color likely be?
What about a mille fleur x black mottled?
Thanks in advance!
There was a teeny tiny egg in the coop this morning! All our birds are young and we only have one bird, an Ameraucana, who’s been laying for about a week. Her first egg was 33 grams and her third/most recent is 41g.
The tiny egg is 9 grams!!! It’s smaller than a quail egg!
This egg is brown...
