Why get a Belgian d'Uccle?

These tiny birds from the Uccle region of Belgium come chock full of personality. Gorgeous feathering, darling foot feathers, and a puffy beard and muffs complete the look of this amazing chicken. If you are looking for a chicken with a huge personality who loves to visit and chat, look no further! Or are you in the market for a 4H-er? D'Uccles make a wonderful starter chicken for showing! Hearty and healthy, these chicken stars love to show off and hang out with humans.

More frizzles!

Beginning to pick out my breeders, slowly but surely! I have several more frizzle pullets available from our North Raleigh farm (local pickup only)! Two from the older pen (May hatches) and 2-3 in the younger pen (June hatches). Plus one smooth girl in the younger pen! Details on our website: http://www.greengrables.com/p/new.html

Here. We. Go. The first frizzle pullet!

All of our birds are raised on fermented food, fresh veggies, supervised free range, and dry food with probiotics, kelp, vitamins, and diatomaceous earth.

Hatching Eggs Available
I'm taking a hatching break, so we have hatching eggs available. Mille fleur and golden neck, with a good chance of frizzle and a tiny chance of white. $70/dozen with free shipping. Or $50 with local pickup.

***REMEMBER... I give price breaks if you buy more than one bird!!! $5 off per bird when you buy more than one***

Although I am NPIP certified, I prefer local pickup - I do not like to put birds through the USPS.

• HERE. WE. GO. The first FRIZZLE mille fleur pullet!!! She has a beard that's a bit too dark. Such a lovely girl, and a sweetheart too. Hatched in early June. Marek's vaccinated. She'd make a great duo with the smooth pullet! $35 (or $30 with purchase of more than one bird)

• Mille fleur d'Uccle pullet $25 ($20 with purchase of more than one bird) She's a gorgeous girl I was keeping for myself, but her beard is coming in too dark. She has gorgeous markings and lovely eyes. Hatched in mid June.

• Porcelain d'Uccle pullet (unsure of her hatch date, probably about 3 months old, bought for breeding but she doesn't have the qualities I'm looking for) $30 ($25 with purchase of another bird)

• Porcelain cockerel free with the pullet, $15 alone, presently lives with the porcelain pullet. He has some pin feather patches on his shoulders (something that can occur with porcelain roosters). Very sweet guy. Bought with pullet for breeding, but doesn't have what I'm looking for.

Bantam barred rock pullet, hatched 6/3 $25 or $20 with purchase of another bird. This girl is super sweet, and loves to come visit in my lap. She is best buddies with the gold laced cochin.

Bantam gold laced cochin pullet, hatched 6/3 $25 ($20 with purchase of another bird). This girl is the cutest ever, and best friends with the barred rock bantam. She is a sweetheart, and loves lap time!

Straight run smooth d'Uccle chicks, mille fleur and golden neck $10 each or two for $15, hatched 7/20 and 7/23. These are gorgeous babies, hand-fed each day for extra friendliness!

Whats new around the farm?

We have been getting some much needed rain! Great for the ground, but boy chores are messy with the mud! We have to take precautions with heat and mud - this is the perfect growing conditions for cocci, which can make you chickens sick. What do we do? We put down non-floating cypress mulch in problem areas, add agricultural lime to help keep bacteria at bay, and give the girls as much time as possible on the grass. In breeding pens, we have french drains or raised coops/runs to keep water away, so our breeders stay nice and dry. We also have tarps that can be lowered if the wind picks up. Fans keep air circulating, which keeps airborne bugs at bay and helps the flocks stay cool. Fresh water each day, along with weekly vitamins and probiotics keep their immune systems high. Fresh veggies keep them cool and happy. 

And of course, our girls gobble up their fermented food, which gives them plenty of probiotics, healthy yeast, and vitamins. I was never a fan of fermented food until I had a hen who just didn't thrive. I tried everything, and finally tried fermented food as a last resort after six months of no eggs, ratty feathers, and isolating behaviors. And wonder of wonder, she picked right up - eggs three weeks later, shiny feathers, and got so perky that we had to rehome her because it turned out she was a bully! Years later, she is still happily pecking around in her new home (governed by several wise roosters to keep her bullying in check LOL). Maybe later this month I will do a little post on how we make our fermented food!

Have a great August everyone! We have lots for sale right now, but very limited pullets, so be sure to check our sale page. People on our email list get the information first, then those who get the newsletter off of our webpage.
