Mille Fleur Belgian D'Uccles

D'Uccles are one of our favorite breeds for their sweet, endearing temperaments and 'playful' behavior. We do sell day-old chicks on occasion (all available birds are posted to our Facebook page) when we have them. Chicks are $7 each, with a slight increase in price per week. D'Uccles can typically be sexed by 4-5 weeks of age. At this age, chicks are only sold as sexed (We would never purposefully sell a sexed bird as unsexed). Pullets and cockerels can range from $10-50 in price (females tend to be higher) depending on age and quality/conformity to the breed standard. All live birds are only sold locally. 

When we have hatching eggs available, we do ship them. Eggs are $25/dozen or $37 for 18. We can only ship 18 per box. Shipping is typically $9-17 depending on your zip code. 

History/Breed Information 

Belgian Bearded D'Uccles were recognized as a breed according to the American Poultry Association (APA) Standard of Perfection in 1914. The Mille Fleur coloration was the first recognized coloration, and, in the year 1914, was the only coloration these beautiful bantams could be found in. Although Mille Fleur was the first recognized coloration of Belgian Bearded d'Uccles, the breed now comes in seven different color variations, including: Mille Fleur, Porcelain, White, Black, Golden Neck, Mottled and Self Blue. Belgian Bearded d'Uccles are true bantams, and they can be found in the Feather Legged Bantams class in the APA Standard of Perfection. D'Uccles should have a single comb, vulture hocks, and feathers on their feet.

D'Uccles generally lay 100-200 small cream-colored eggs each year, when they are not broody. Depending on the individual bird, d'Uccles tend to go broody somewhat often however, not all d'Uccles will go broody. Of the five birds in our small flock, only three of them have ever gone broody. D'Uccles are very dedicated mothers, and take very good care of their chicks!

D'Uccles are considered an ornamental breed by many, and are not known for egg-laying, or meat production. The word 'millefleur' translates to, 'thousand flowers.' The pattern on the end of each feather is often referred to as a 'flower.' With their calm (and slightly sassy 😉) demeanor, these birds make wonderful pets for any age! Like any bird, if you work with them enough, we have found them to make great showmanship birds in 4-H shows.

Our Mille Fleur D'Uccle Flock

All our Mille Fleur Belgian Bearded D'Uccles have feathered feet, beards, vulture hocks, and muffs according to breed standard. Although they would not be disqualified from a show, please keep in mind that they are pet/hatchery quality. We are slowly working to improve our stock and purchased two nice pullets this Spring. Hoping that they will start laying in the Fall of 2021.
