Are these not silkies?

So we are thinking d’uccle or booted bantams? The d’uccle are gorgeous I almost ordered a few this year anyway :p

I remember now that “bantams” were what was mixed in with them (and there were chicks with plain feet [and chipmunk pattern and coloring] in there so I and the sales guy presumed THOSE were the bantams. Dumb me totally forgot about the black skin in my excitement).

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I know it’s a little early to tell, my surprise at my mistake had me getting curious. Whatever they are they are charming :)
I have done that too. What black skin ? Ohh ya ! hahahaaa
 
So what did they turn out to be, D'uccle's? I got four just like yours from a TSC in Maryland - and they're the most beautiful little birds, now! All four of ours are Porcelain D'uccles - and it looks like we may have even lucked into getting at least one pair. I'm a happy chicken camper!

Yes!! Sorry for the late reply :p

They are in fact d’uccles and they are absolutely marvelous birds! Out of the 10 breeds we’ve had so far, the d’uccles are absolutely the sweetest :) we are very happy!
