Bantam Cochin or Bantam D'uccle?

[rachelrenee1]

This sweet girl came out of the bantam D'uccle bin, but there were Cochins in there too. It's missing the beard and vulture hocks (though some of the others have picked at her feet, so that might or might not be strictly true that there are no vulture hocks), but she doesn't seem as round as a Cochin and maybe the tail seems off?

Thoughts on my mystery girl? She's roughly 7.5 weeks. My Buff Orpington has been raising her. The top image is her as a chick, if it helps.

She looks like a D'UCCLE head and stance.

Fantastic! Thank you. And, this is so silly, but do you pronounce it duck-l? Or due-clay (the French pronunciation)? I've had chickens for years but only read the name, and not sure which is the correct way to say it.

Due ca lay or die clay.

Perfect! I was using that and then I wondered if it had been Americanized and I sounded silly.
