| The Porcelain D'Uccle from Belgium is one of the most beautiful and desired breeds of bantam chickens. Having no standard counterpart, this tiny little bird is a true bantam. One of the extremely unique and valuable features of this breed is the presence of the LAVENDER GENE. which can be used for several breeding programs … The Porcelains are patterned the same way as the Mille Fleur, but the base color is straw, and the barring lavender with a white tip. Porcelain D’Uccles have a sweet disposition and are a must for the exhibitor. Our Porcelains are from the Gabbard Farms breeding program and are gorgeous! Pictured Left is our little pullet Farrah |

| "The Chantecler is a breed of chicken originating in Canada. It was developed in the early 20th century, at the Abbey of Notre-Dame du Lac in Oka, Quebec. It is extremely cold-resistant, and is suitable for both egg and meat production. The Chantecler is a large chicken that lays respectably well and is a good meat producer. Roosters weigh around 9 pounds, and hens are 6.5-7.5 pounds .The breed possess yellow skin and beaks, and lay brown eggs. With plumage that lies tight against the body but has a good deal of fluff, and an exceptionally small cushion comb and wattles, the Chantecler is one of the most cold hardy chickens. They are gentle birds amenable to taming, but can be temperamental in confinement ________________ All of our chickens are housed and free range daily, weather permitting. They are friendly and meet or exceed breed standards. |

| The bearded and booted D'Uccle from Belgium is one of the most beautiful and desired breeds of bantam chickens. The Mille Fleur color pattern, as shown here on our rooster 'Dracula' consists of a base color of mahogany, with each feather marked with a crescent shaped bar of black and tipped with a V-shaped white spangle. The true coloring does not usually appear until the first adult molt. In French, Mille Fleur means "thousand flowers" and relates to the colorful feathering of these chickens. Mille Fleur D’Uccles have a sweet disposition and are a must for the exhibitor or pet chicken owner. Our Mille Fleurs were selected from breeders throughout the United States. |
