is this a d'uccle?

[trkcChick]

When I first got our chickens I didn't know that much about the breeds. So when I bought I just bought the ones I thought were nice looking. I got these chickens from a lady who thinks they are d'uccles. I know a little more now and I'm not sure that they are d'uccles, maybe a mixed. Does anyone know what they might be?

Thanks for the help

The first pic looks exactly like my roos I got from crossing a mille fleur d'uccle roo with a columbian cochin hen. All roos were silver- most with varying degree of red leakage- and hens were all buff columbian.

The second pic- mille fleur d'uccle hen

Last two pics- mille fleur d'uccle crossed with salmon faverolle or easter egger? just a guess. She's a very pretty girl. I love that wheaten-like coloring!

Thanks!

The black and white one was killed by a neighbor's dog. I was hoping to find another one like him. If he is a mix I guess it will be hard to find.

One characteristic of the true d'Uccle is it will have vulture hocks. They also come in bearded and non bearded. These look to be a cross. The mille fleur hen looks to be older because as they get older, they get more white in the pattern.

D-Uccles are always bearded. Booted bantams lack the beard but are otherwise similar (not exactly the same, but fairly close)

The amount of white doesn't indicate age. I have had mille hens that had a lot of white from the get-go. Although you are correct they get more with each molt.
