D'Uccle color? Frizzle?

Yes, I think that might be right, although I thought it was a silkie before the feathers started coming in. All the birds came from a local feed store that gets their chicks weekly from Ideal Hatchery. I know hatcheries aren't great source for great breed standard but I am kind of surprised that they all seem to be mixes. Well, I think my white silkie might be an actual silkie

. I'm sure they will all be beautiful to me. It's interesting to watch them grow and change and imagine what they will look like as adults.

I bought some OEGBs from them last year and several of them developed crests. And OEGs aren't supposed to have crests. :-D

that is interesting as my feed store gets their chicks from ideal and i have bought some from them and they never seem to be as off as some people post :-/

Probably because you know what to look for when choosing chicks

. I was more or less choosing blindly and the people at the feed store weren't super helpful with information. Only one of them knew anything about chickens and her question quota seemed to be 2. The girl that ended up grabbing the chicks for me was actually asking me for advice about identifying chicks lol. I'm glad to have found a place to expand my chicken knowledge.
