Mille Fleur D'Uccle------------meaning---------Thousand Flowers-----that's because their feather coloring is such a rich, bright, mahogany, reddish, gold color!!! These girls are TOUGH, they are not supposed to be TOUGH, but have been very winter since we have had them. The Mille's are a very, very small breed, 26 oz. for the roosters, 22 oz. for the hens, on average! Fragile and delicate in appearance but MAN O MAN ------ if they want to get away from something they can 'fly HIGH' not far, but really HIGH, roof top high!!! Normally, pretty calm, lay small light brown eggs, very broody---have been so enjoyable to have around!!! The first to roost up at night and the last to get 'out and about' in the morning!At this time, we do NOT have a rooster and need to get one. Had 2 roosters last fall and a person wanted to buy one, saw no problem with that, but it wasn't too long after that, our other Mille Roo just died, nothing had been wrong, JUST FOUND HIM DEAD. I really, really think he missed his Buddy! Am in search of 2 more Roos----------------Craigs List-----------here I come!!!
