They were sold to her as PURE d'uccles!! ?????

[Cloverleaf Farm]

A lady emailed me the other day wanting to know what kind of chickens she had. They were all sold to her as pure d'uccles....I got permission to post the pics here and ask you all what you think they really are....The first one screams black tailed buff Japanese / d'Uccle cross to me...

But what about these....

That little face in the background of this one looks like a d'uccle face, but d'uccle x what?

And I'd say Cochin to the body shape on this one...

Thanks!!

I used to have a mille fleur de uccle rooster, and he did indeed have the big loopy tail just like that. I think he looks okay. I don't know about the hens.

So maybe golden necks in the first group? Even with the black tails?

She was mislead. Those are not pure duccles. They may have some duccle in them, but they look like a mix of Japs (tail), silkie(comb color on the 2nd hen), and cochin (body shape).

Those are crosses, no doubt. she got took.
