I will have some pet quality d'uccle youngster, about four months old.They all have foot feathering, but not on the middle toe and the spots aren't right, but they are still cute, adorable, friendly and would be old enough to withstand the mail. I would ship you about 3-4 for free, except for shipping, which usually runs about $60 for express. I am in the process of getting NPIP certified so that I can ship my birds to all fifty states.
 
There is absolutely no cons to a d'uccle. You can hug them and squeeze them and call them George....
Seriously, I free range mine and they run any meat off themselves looking for bugs. They walk funny because they have HUGE foot feathers, that always make them look like they are wearing footie pajamas. The foot feathers do break off, but not all the way. They are super friendly and super curious. They fly when they need to, put themselves back into their coop at night so that you can lock it after them and they get along with other birds. They go broody when they want to be left alone by the boys.
My four month old chase away the crows that come down to eat their food. And they are not SO small that any rapture can come and get them. They lay pretty good, crow all day but not alot. I would make sure you put them in a fenced yard to keep dogs away. Cat's tend to leave them alone after they get larger.
Hope that helps.
Did I say they are cute and cuddly?

I agree pretty much completely. The only drawback I've found is they aren't too great at laying, at least mine aren't. My silkies laid better.

My 2 pullets were hatched in July. One isn't laying at all yet, the other is laying 2-3 eggs a week. If they pick up some when the weather is nicer I plan on getting more, if not I'll just stick with my trio. They are sweet, friendly, adorable little chickens. I was worried about the feet feathers getting nasty at first. Even living with ducks and geese, and everything being covered in mud since it's spring and we've gotten quite a bit of snow, they still aren't too bad at all. Not even enough mud on their to get the couple eggs a week dirty.

They do break the tips off scratching around in the yard, but their feet stay pretty heavy feathered.
And they are 100% cute and cuddly.
 
I think my D'Uccles crowing is seriously the cutest thing I've ever heard, they are so high and squeaky, lol. So far, mine don't crow excessively and they aren't nearly as loud as my LF roos, some of which are downright obnoxious.

I also just got my first D'Uccle eggs this week! I've been getting one a day for a few days, then today I got two, so I know two of them have started! I set the first egg they gave me and it already shows development, I'm thrilled! I've got three golden neck pullets and two MF pullets with a golden neck roo, so I know I'm hoping for some blue MF

Mine crowed quite a bit when he first learned how. Now he seldom does, a few times a day really. He's a good boy, very good with his girls and with my kids.
