Thank you for your lovely review, River! We’re so glad to hear you’re enjoying your Mille Fleur d'Uccle Bantam chicks. Their charming personalities and energetic spirit can truly fill a home with joy! We can’t wait for you to watch them grow and see all the delightful antics they’ll get up to as they mature. Thank you for sharing your excitement with us!
“Little Frog (because as a chick she hopped around and looked like a little frog!) is one of my all-time favorite chickens. She's so adorable and sweet! She doesn't mind being held, and always comes running to me. When I hand out treats, she waits until the other hens are busy with their treats, and then comes up to get hers. She does tend to get picked on by the other hens (she's the only bantam I have). She's learned to fly up to the top of the cabinet I keep in the run to store the treats in, because she knows I'll feed her treats there where the other hens don't fly up to. She's definitely the best flyer of all my hens, maybe because she's so light.
Little Frog lays a tiny cream egg nearly every day that she's not broody. Her eggs are perfect for bite-sized deviled eggs or for when you need half an egg for a recipe you're cutting in half. They'd make adorable hard boiled eggs for kids! I don't supplement light during the winter, so all my hens take the winter off. Little Frog does tend to go broody a lot, but that's ok because I don't sell her eggs, so I don't need a lot of them.
I'd love to attach some pictures of her, but I can't figure out how to do that. She's simply the best!”
Thank you so much for sharing Little Frog’s story with us—she sounds like such a special little hen! From her adorable name (we love the backstory!) to her clever treat strategy and sweet personality, it’s clear she’s got a big place in your heart. It’s always so touching to hear how unique and loved these tiny girls can be—bantams really do have a way of hopping right into our lives and staying there!
Her little cream eggs sound absolutely delightful—bite-sized deviled eggs and hard-boiled treats for kids? So cute! And we love that she’s found her safe spot up on the cabinet, too—clever girl.
If you’d like to share photos, feel free to send them to us at flockcare@mypetchicken.com. We’d be thrilled to see her and maybe even feature her!
Thanks again for sharing her with us—Little Frog truly sounds like one of a kind.
“Our two girls are both spunky and affectionate, absolutely beautiful little hens. And they actually lay quite well! One is more brazen than the other (she is also a naughty escape artist lol), but they really are a true delight. We bring them inside to hang out some days, which they love despite even the mandatory chicken diaper.”
“Mille Fleur d'Uccle Bantam Female
I love my Orange beauty. This chicken is the calmest, most affectionate, easy to handle. Her personality is that of a very delicate, quiet, gentle and elegant chicken. She is my favorite, every day I take her in my hands and always spoil her with something tasty. She is 6 months old and has not laid eggs yet, but you can hold her just to get positive emotions...”
Thank you for sharing such a lovely review! It sounds like your Mille Fleur d'Uccle Bantam is truly a special companion. We’re so happy to hear she’s bringing you so much joy with her calm and affectionate nature. Her gentle personality sounds absolutely wonderful, and it’s clear you’re giving her the best care. We hope she starts laying soon, but in the meantime, it’s great to hear she’s already making your days brighter! 😊🐔💖
“A year ago I got 4 female Belgian D'Uccle babies, and they have been DELIGHTS. Beautiful, friendly birds, easy keepers, started laying on time, and have laid eggs nearly every day since they got going. The eggs are small, but they are tasty. Lovely birds to have, and they trill outside my office window all day and greet us excitedly when we come home.”
We always love to hear from our fellow flock keepers and we are thrilled to hear that your 4 Mille Fleur d'Uccle Bantams are doing great! We hope you continue to have many happy years together with your sweet girls!
We are so happy to have been a part of your flock keeping adventure! Thank you for letting us know the little ones are doing well and bringing you happiness!
We love hearing stories like this and appreciate you sharing with us all! These little ones are known for their friendly personalities and it is heartening to hear that she is living up to her reputation!
