Actually, hatchery quality chickens are often not pure. My "Dutch" rooster from Ideal hatchery is most likely a Japanese/OEGB cross and most likely has no Dutch blood in him. This is very disapointing to me, cuz I love Dutch banties and would love to get a good one from a hatchery. At least yours is mostly D'Uccle. Mine is not even part Dutch.

I don't think there are any hatcheries that sell pure dutch, they are most times mixed with OEGB.
I've not gotten chicks from a hatchery often, so I can't really say on them having a lot of mixes.

I got mine from an Atwoods in Crossett. They were developing nice spots, but I don't know what the quality was beyond that.
