Mille Fleur Duccle Cockerel or hen??

[Vickischics]

My guess is cockerel. I do have to agree on a mutt. That or the breeder doesn't care how the birds turn out. Hes lacking a lot of characteristics of a Duccle. This is one of my Duccle pullets. Notice the muffs and its a little hard to tell but if you look hard enough you can see her vulture hocks.View attachment 2376164

Mutt? Mixed would be a better term and the chick I have is only 4 weeks old. Yours looks like a young adult pullet, not even close in age. I have 2-3 week chicks that are bigger then the one I have pictured.

Didn’t mean to offend you. To me each term is the same. I refer to my own birds as mutts so didn’t think much of it.

Mutt isn’t a negative term. I actually prefer mutt/mixed chickens over purebreds. However, calling your chick a purebred d’uccle would be mislabeling him, which is why people have pointed out that he’s mixed.

I'm leaning towards cockerel at this point.

That’s definitely not a d’uccle, definitely a mutt. Stop being so defensive, you still have a cute little bird regardless. Nothing wrong with the word mutt. That’s what it is.

D'uccle mix cockerel.
