Please write in. I live in NW Ohio and am planning to start my first small flock. I plan to keep them shut in the coop at night, but it won't have heat of any kind. May be you should consider either heating the coop or getting a different breed. Mille Fleur Belgain d'Uccles is a rust red with black marks on the back.
Porcelains are a cream colored chick when frist hatch.
Belgian d'uccles frist feather out in a reddish colored birs with black spots. The adult pattern does not appear until 4 months plus, and improves with age after each molt. I'm also sorry that i replied so late. I have pictures of my chicks when hatched and at intervals since. They are now about 4 months old,5 beautiful Millefleur and l Porcelein.
