Does the pair actually have muffs and beards? If not, you have Booted Bantams with the Mille color pattern, not d'Uccles.

The one in the picture is a hen. I don't see sickle/pointy saddle feathers.

I also agree that it may not be a D'Uccle. Looks more like booted bantam. It could be a beard-less D'Uccle but..

no muffs or beards

and the one i posted is the hen of the pair i got

so maybe a booted?

im so confused lol

I'd say if neither one has muffs (cheek area) or beards (under bottom of beak), then you have BB's, not d'Uccles. The d'Uccles do have the muffs and beards, but the Booted Bantams do not. I have both the BB's and d'Uccles, I personally like the muffs and beards, that's just me. I still keep my BB girls though because they're so sweet and pretty. PM me if you have any questions.
