Does anyone know what this little dude/dudette is?
I was thinking Cochin but now it is starting to look like maybe a lavender D’uucle?

I can add new photos in the morning but this is him/her as a chick. Feathery feet, 4 toes, a gray/silver color. And SO SMALL.

Cute chick!

She is a Porcelain D'uccle.

Are there feathers down at least half the middle toe?

Thank you! Is that a rare breed? She’s my favorite! I’m praying she’s a girl. I posted more photos of her and another one that I thought was a D’uccle...
I was hoping she was a Cochin. I want one so bad!

Not a very rare breed... maybe uncommon at the most. D'uccles are great little birds! I used to have one, and she was the friendliest chicken I've ever had.

The other chicken is a Mille Fleur D'uccle, and a pullet. Based on the recent photos, the Porcelain is probably a cockerel.

Thank you so much for IDing them. You think the Porcelain is a rooster? I was thinking the comb was too little for a rooster but I know nothing about these. I’m okay with him being a rooster, he has a special place in my heart. When he was really tiny (he’s like 1.5 months now) he had issues with his vent getting stuck with poo... I had to clean him daily. Lol, so he’s a big baby! Hopefully he’s nice to my other birds, he seems so calm compared to my others!

The Porcelains comb is looking pretty thick and bright pink, especially compared to the Mille Fleur, which is making me think he is a cockerel. D'uccle roos are known for being friendly, so hopefully he works out in your flock!

Yay! I hope so too! He also stands upright really good so you’re probably right

They red up pretty fast. Hens are womderful, however I have had issues with every D'uccle male I had once they hit sexual maturity. Hoping it was just the line inhale last time, but just a heads up
