D'uccle Thread

Hi guys, I think I picked up a d'uccle at TSC. Can anyone tell me what she is? Maybe porcelain?

Yup, looks like a Porcelain. I see some two-toned colors in the feathers.

I believe the length of the wing tips tell sex with the females coming in more prominent before the slightly shorter males. So possibly two  pullets and a cockerel. Who knows there's always that chance they aren't what the technique proves true. Even though it may give you a idea what to look for as in actions.

That's neat! Would you say I have a girl then? She's a week old and her wings are coming in fast.

Is this a D'Uccle chick?

I don't understand why people don't know what breed of chick they have?

They come from feed stores. The bantams especially are a mystery, since they just throw them all in a bin labeled bantams and that's it.

I'm actually thinking that's a Cochin Bantam.

unfortunately d'uccles can't be feather sexed.The
chickens are specially bred for this.I have good accuracy with looking at just the color but with the wings you have a 50/50 chance of getting it right when they aremt specially bred.males are usaully darker.

Darn. Can you tell anything by looking at her wing feathers' color in those pictures?
