    Well - sure - if anyone specifically gets D'Uccles - then they want the "type" but may not care about extra wattles, or no face puffs - they may like the puffs - but not care ... as the bird is still a little D'uccle :) and hey - those of us like that are great for you show breeders...

    This is a good lesson for all of us .... keeping quiet does no one any good - and if this person truly was dupped by another ... and is honest - then they WANT to know what people have to say about the misinformation ! This sounds like it could turn out well and she could still sell her...

    Not like the faces of my birds .... and I wouldn't dare to call mine show quality - but they are better than these! I think you should let ebay know .... if someone wants these bird's babies - that is totally cool - but they should be honest about what they are ! Please report them for...
