The chick has yellowish legs like a Cochin, but I am not seeing the lavender variety offered by any hatchery that would sell to Rural King. Yellow legs are not right for D'Uccles, but that's what I think it is. Self blue is the same as lavender, just a different way of saying it.
Shredded feathers don't hurt the chickens at all. It just looks a bit messy. Other than making sure they are getting the right amount of protein, there's nothing to be done about it.
