Hi I am so please for you to start your new breeding program with the
Belgian Bearded d'Uccles, I would love to help you unfortunatly my
d'Uccles aren't laying yet, its a bit early for the d'Uccles to lay, I
be also honest to you regarding the d'Uccles as I would like to see
this beautiful breed get the proper type and hopfully more breeders
take them, the type of the d'Uccles are very poor in this country, to
long on the legs, narrow on body and also big combs. I just visited the
top breeders in Belgium and wow I wish you were there!!! super type,
small and very broad birds with very neet small comb. I am sure it will
be a few no many good breeders in this country but I sugest to ask
Robert Rees our club secretary for advice on good breeders,he is very
helpful. In scotland was a lady call Mrs Morton I remember her having
some super d,Uccles but I lost her contact. Also try Caroline Hadley,
tony Jose or Derek Elvy you sould have those members name on your
introduction new members pack. But if you decided to visit Belgium
breeders I maybe be able to help. Good luck
What colours have you got?
P Delgado
