More about my d’Uccles: I have a very good show history with my d’Uccle line. It originated in Georgia from a man named Mr. Russell Booth some 9 years ago. Ever since, the now named *Impeckable Bantams* linehas taken Variety and Breed in MANY shows. I can even credit 2 Best of Shows to one of my little hens; if you raise d’Uccles, you know because they are so uncommon it is almost impossible to win Show, at least down here!

!!MORE RECENT PICTURES COMING SOON!!

Each of the offspring are banded and numbered according to their parents, and each one purchased will come with a “Pedigree” stating who the parents are (similar to a dog’s pedigree). I request that the band stay on the bird when purchased. Most birds will not be ready to be sold untilthey are 6-12 months old. I can put you on a waiting list, though. However, I can not gaurantee that you will get a bird this year, due to the limited supply of chicks. I will do my best to fill everyone’s order, though!

If you are interested in seeing pictures of any certain bird, or would like to be put on a waiting list, please feel free to email me!

I will post the availability here on the chart as soon as something comes up and keep it updated! Also email me for interests in any other breeds!

Thank you so much for all of your time and God bless!

Whatch for my auctions on Eggbid.com!

Betta Splendens

No, it’s not chickens, but here is a whole new topic. I was able to breed (spawn) these Bettas (aka. Siamese Fighting Fish). The male is a gorgeous Half Moon I named Spangle. The female is a very nice red Crowntail named Star. If all goes well, I will soon have many little Bettas. Right now, the babies (fry) hatched and are starting to swim around. For those who do not know, here is how spawning Bettas goes, though it is not this simple!: The male builds a huge nest out of bubbles that he blows. When he entices the female to come over, he gently embraces her in a “U”, and from that embrace will spill 1-3 or as many as 25 opaque white eggs. The male lets go and swims down to catch the eggs that fall to the floor. He the spits them in to the nest. This goes on for up to 3 hours. In my case, or their case I should say, this lasted for 2&1/2 hours and I counted around 535 eggs…ya, that’s no type-o! And it’s not unusual, either. Some spawns yeild up to 1,000 eggs, but usually about 300-400. In about 36 hours, the eggs hatch into pro-larvae that are face up in the “bubblenest”. They are literally 1-1&1/2mm long! They can’t swim either, so they are continually falling out of the nest, and then dad comes and picks them up and spits them back into the nest. For 2 days, dad contiues this job until the fry can swim and then he is removed (or he will eat them!) and they begin eating only live, microscopic food. I culture Infusoria and feed it to them and soon they can eat slightly larger food, such as Brine Shrimp nauplii, which if you hadn’t guessed, I have to hatch! I have quite a few pictures of the parents, the spawn, and the fry.

I call the parents “Star & Spangle Banner”.
