Edit just noticed they don't have feathered legs,

maybe he's supposed to be mille fluer?

sorry but no thats not what he is. i raise d'uccles and he is 100% d'uccle. those chickens have featherless legs and no vulture hocks which this one does on top of that the combs on those are not straight single combs

here's the feathesite page for your d'uccle

I believe he came from Ideal. I got him from an Atwoods in Oklahoma.

then he is going to turn into the mille fluer color

they have golden necks, white, mille, self blue, brown red, and blue mille. the reason i know this is i have been comparing prices because i need some more self blues, i want the blue milles, some whites, and the golden necks.

I just did research for Ideal's offering of d'Uccles, and I'm really very pleasantly surprised! They have a lot of colors: Self Blue, Golden Neck, Blue Mille Fleur, Brown Red, Porcelain, and... Buff Columbians

Now if I can just sell this to my DH.. "But hun, look at all the colors!"
