Bantam ID

[Suesweet]

Can anyone help identify this chicken for us? It is full grown-came from a bin of surprise/mystery bantams. She’s about the size of a pigeon and flies really well. Cream color with grey/blue pattern, feathered feet. Thank you

Porcelain d'Uccle, and she's a pullet. A beautiful one at that!

You're welcome! I love d'uccles. I've currently got 3 of them. 2 Self Blue and a Mille Fleur. One Self Blue is male, the other 2 are too young to know yet.

I want a porcelain, though. I'll keep grabbing those lavender chicks in the assorted bin, and one day, maybe one will turn out to be one.

Do D’uccles not always have beards?

That's a good point, and one I didn't catch. She should have a beard, and this bird doesn't have fluff around her face. The coloring and feet are right, but that isn't. What do you think?

I’m not sure. Do other bantams come in that porcelain pattern?

None that I've been able to find. And I've been doing a lot of Googling on this since you pointed out the lack of a beard. This one is perplexing.

The lack of a beard is putting that in question.
