No, your bird is a d'Uccle, it just means that her coloring isn't all that great.

She is just a pet quality bird.

I don't understand why her coloring is so buff, that is really weird but the genetics sound interesting. So is her coloring more "wheaten"

 

[SilkiesForEver]

No, she's a golden neck. She just has a lot of gold. d'Uccles tend to gain more white with age, so wait on her.

I am bringing her to show regardless, she will be my fit and show girl. She is much better behaved then my shy-sweet sebright. <3
Another question, so porcelain is mille fluer crossed with a lavender D'uccle?

Depending on the lice, they do bite the bird when they get old enough.

Argh!! My millies have sprouted very loooong footfeathers, and now are molting! Gersh! If only they had had those during the fair... sigh....


Also, just the other day when I purchased a few hens, the lady I bought from had a very nice d'Uccle rooster. He was gorgeous! NO, wattles AT ALL. And, he wasn't mille fleur, but he had those rich golden/red feathers and a black tail. NO white. He looked like he could be a red Columbian.

I've made plans (in my own head) to go pick him up once my additional coop is finished.

Something like this

Here is my Golden Neck girl, what do you think? Does she have good type? Is her coloring ideal?






I am new to this breed but I love her so much.

I think she is fine, she is very young and will get her white in give her a few months

This is exactly what he looked like. Absolutely NO white.
