She's been doing this the whole time since I got her in may.

I have nothing then. I would assume that someone is doing it at night, d'Uccles are notorious for over preening each other.

Picked out the 6 lucky birds to show in November, getting every one conditioned, I need to weigh and see how close to weights I am on them.

I would love chocolate as a base color .....  do you have a mottled choc color to post as an example ?   Just so I get a good feel for it ? 

I have sourced some examples on the Internet but I'm not sure I can show them here...copyright/property/etc. maybe I can just zoom in on a feather patch and post that? I haven't any myself to show off yet I'm afraid.

You can post the link, and then others can go to the link and no worries on copyright

genius idea! I actually found one on our very own! https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...ers-dun-and-blue-can-be-included-here-as-well

It's a serama but I imagine fairly close to what it would look like on a D'uccle. My chocolates are darker than this, more of a 'bittersweet' shade than a 'milk'.
To take it a step further, I'm going to look into a khaki mottle. Wonder if that's possible. That would be stunning IMO.

That chocolate color is nice

Question...I know I've seen the genetic table somewheres but a Mille over a porc can create a blue Mille right? I think I have one but it's not clear. His tail feathers look pretty black but his feet and other feathers looks like a blue...
