I have ten D'uccle chicks that I just hatched. They there three distinct colors, a black, chocolate brown, and a light yellow gray. I'll post pics. I am confused because the person we bought the hatching eggs from gave us Mille Fleur and Porcelain. She must have gotten them mixed up. I'm not mad, just curious.
There are five of the top pic, 3 of the 2nd, and the last two pics are unique.

Consider calling or texting photos to your supplier and ask what they make of it. Do they keep more varieties or is that one an accidental cross of the two? They may be able to identify the differences right away. I would WANT to know if I did have a mix up even if the person isn't asking for any correction. I am also passionate about my birds as many folks are and happy to help others, especially my patrons, with any chicken questions they might have... like what just hatched, is there a reason it doesn't appear as I had expected? You seem genuinely curious and not confrontational, I expect it *should* go well if you make contact.
