Add a touch of elegance and charm to your flock with the champagne-gold beauty of a Porcelain D’uccle Bantam! Porcelain plumage is indispensable for show, and personality is a must for anyone who enjoys pet bantams. A base of parchment feathers, individually marked with a lavender-blue crescent-moon and tipped with a pale gibbous spangle, creates a lovely dappled grey that glows like winter-frosted wheat reflecting moonlight. Their soft beards and muffs give them a gentle, whimsical look that enchants all who meet them.
You will receive one chick per quantity ordered, and each chick is a unique surprise in both personality and feather pattern.
Feathers
Porcelain D’uccle Bantams have beautifully dappled plumage, feathered legs, fluffy muffs, and full beards. Their delicate porcelain coloring is pale where Mille Fleurs are dark and cool where Mille Fleurs are warm, giving them a frosted, ethereal appearance that improves as they mature.Eggs They Will Gift
These bantams typically lay 2–3 small cream-tinted eggs per week. While modest, the eggs are a charming addition to your backyard collection.Personality
The fluffy beards give them a shy appearance, but these birds are delightfully friendly once you get to know them. Porcelain D’uccle Bantams are excellent for shows, 4H projects, or as affectionate pets. They are docile, curious, and perfectly sized for smaller children to handle.History
Originating in Belgium, the Porcelain D’uccle Bantam was recognized by the American Poultry Standard of Perfection in 1965. Roosters typically weigh 26 oz, and hens 22 oz. These bantams belong to the Feather-Legged Bantam Class and often go broody. Porcelains are the rarer variety of Belgian Bearded D’uccles, with the more common Mille Fleur variety serving as their colorful counterpart. Their unique coloration and feathered legs make them a prized addition for both show and ornamental flocks.
Sexing Method and Accuracy:
Bantams are generally only offered as unsexed straight runs because their sex is not reliably identifiable until mature, and vent sexing is unsafe for bantam breeds. To assist families, we offer unsexed chicks with our female coverage option or DNA-sexed females. Without DNA sexing, plan for roughly 50% or more of your order to be roosters. Some families order extra female covered chicks to ensure they get the number of girls they want, returning roosters for a store credit to use toward organic feed, more birds, or flock care.
