Hi,
We had the most gorgeous chook wander into our suburban garden one day, and never leave. Gets along extremely well with our dogs, cats and 3 other chooks. However...we have no idea of breed or even gender.
Please take a look at the photos and share whatever knowledge you have.
Cheers
Anna Clark, Maryborough Qld

The chook to the left looks to be some kind of D'Uccle -- I don't know what color, though.
The comb is red, but the chicken is fully grown; the feathers are those of a hen. I would say that you have a very pretty little hen!
 
She appears to be a d'Uccle, and I am guessing that because in the photos she appears to be bearded and have leg/foot feathering. She also looks Bantam. The coloring appears to be porcelain or lavender.

For reference, here's the section here on this breed, with photos:

Also, feathersite's page on d'Uccles, with lots of colors:

Hope this helps! I have the mille fleur color, myself. They have great personality, and both hen and roo are excellent parents.
