The Porcelain d'Uccle Bantam is realated to the Millle Fleur d'Uccle Bantam and the Belgain d'Uccle Bantam. It was introduced in the U.S in 1965, though its popularity is very small. The Porcelain d'Uccle is a true bantam breed. They have full beards and feathered feet. They are not a cold hardy breed and do better in free ranging situations. This breed is broody and makes a great mom for hatching eggs. This breed is very docile and have great personalities, they also are a great show bird and have known to make 1st prize.

Pros: Beautiful, fun to watch, good for small flocks
Cons: Don't like being handled, poor layers
I have two of these beautiful chickens, a male and a female. I don't get what people mean by the males being unfriendly--both are so sweet! The female hates being held and will run off, but the male is very sweet to us! He acts like a rooster, of course, and bosses the other birds around. I'd recommend these birds as protectors of the flock and ornamental birds.

Pros: Small, beautiful, excellent free ranger, friendly, docile
Cons: Poor layers
I’ve got one Porcelain D’Uccle girl. She is quirky and odd but it makes her fun to watch. She can typically be found away from the rest of the group, scratching up dirt to get some treats. For her small size she can reach some of the highest spots in the coop. Bottom of the pecking order but super sweet and top of the list for the family.

Pros: Tiny, Beautiful, Fun to watch
Great protector over my larger Heritage Hens
Cons: Highly aggressive
My little "Odd Thomas" is beautiful. I've raised him since birth and he can certainly hold his own! He watches over his (Heritage) Hens, warns of danger, calls them to eat, herds them back into the coop at night. His little crow is tiny and weak, like he's in training to be a real rooster when he grows up. When I enter the coop, he goes into ATTACK MODE and jumps on my back then starts to peck my head. Thankfully he is just a little thing, so no damage done. I love my little fella!! <3

Love love love my two girls. Very sweet and know their names. Have yet to see eggs from them due to their young age. But for a TSC buy both are almost 100% perfect of the breed minus the beard.

I'm new to these. Fell in love with them at a show. But I can't seem to find enough info on them. Are they APA recognized yet? Hatchery said they did poorly in heat, and this article says they do poorly in cold...

I guess I have one. I got a Silkie chick from Tractor Supply, the more I researched the Silkie breed the more I thought that there was no way this was a Silkie. Maybe it’s a parakeet I thought, maybe it’s dwarf of something else...I finally posted on here a picture of her and low and behold I was told that she is a d uncle bantam. I know nothing about these birds. To the internet I go.

I have two of these i got with my silkies and my light brahma.. Glad someone here could identify this breed for me. Pretty chickens. Mine are so teeny tiny compared to my silkies and brahma. at 4 weeks lol. I find them to like getting picked up better than the silkies i have, hopefully mine are females, since it appears the roosters are attack dogs lol. i need to look into the cold tolerances of these guys more.
