Noooooooot D'uccles. At least not pure ones. These look crossed with like... cochins or something. Makes telling the genders harder as some of their bodies scream hen at me but I'm not familiar with cochins or w/e they were bred with.

Only the first one even looks at all like a D'uccle the others don't even look part XD like some other breed altogether with the mille fleur colour gene.

EDIT: After googling it - they all look like MF Cochins to me XD Defo not D'uccles. But this breed I'm completely clueless with. The roosters and hens have very similar body shapes to me - but if I had to toss around guesses I would say roosters cause they are huge and red in the comb department.

EDITEDIT: and about D'uccle pronunciations I've come to the conclusion that no one actually knows anymore. Some say "du-clay", others "du-cluh", while I've caught a few professionals even saying "duck-cle". However you want to say it when you're attempting to sell them doesn't matter as long as you can comfortably say it exactly that way every time. Few care HOW you say it. But it's a real turn off to a prospective buyer when you're tripping over how to correctly pronounce the breed in which you're trying to sell.

If I had to make a guess I'd say they are Mille Fleur Cochins instead of pure D'Uccles and I'd also guess that they are roo's. Very pretty!
