Ermahgerd! So cool to know!! I was talking non stop about chickens and somehow managed to get my husband to stop at the flea market for their monthly live stock swap.
I thought I got swindled at first. The guy that sold them to me just kept saying "they're bantams, just bantams" I had no clue at the time it's a generalized name. He did have pictures of full silkies. When I got home and googled the D'Uccles were the closest I found. When I posted guess my chicken on this forum the resounding answer was a mix of that and silkie. Either way I don't care they're so sweet and like you said so soft. I just want to squeeze them but they're not big fans of that.
Yeah!
