D'uccles??

[MissD'uccle]

A local lady would like to sell me her "d'uccles" but I think they look more like booted bantams? Also, the coloring looks poor? Anyways, just wanted to get ya'll's thoughts before I took on any birds that I am unsure of!

Thanks in advance for any input!!

the female on the far left seems to be the closest to the correct coloration.

ETA: Yes, they do appear to be booted bantams.

The roo has a beard, Booteds are not bearded!

d'uccles are bearded, but booted bantams are not. Maybe she has a mix of the two, looks like a millefleur/black mottled cross? Not sure about what color you'd call the hens, possible another mixed color. D'uccles are cute anyhow, and very sweet and calm.

I do know that the older a mille fleur d'uccle hen gets, the more white feathers she gets with each molt.
This may explain why the hens are so white. That roo is interesting.

They look like they are d'uccles mixed with something else.

Thanks everyone! I thought they were something other than just d'uccles. they are very cool looking but i'm really looking for straight d'uccles.

They are cute, but they should all have big fluffy beards if they are d'Uccles. I'm guessing D'Uccle/booted cross.

Check out my avatar, that's my Gold-Necked d"uccle Roo, "Daffy"! See his chubby beard?
