wandering roo - what is he?

[Lady Chickadee]

He looks like a mille fleur cochin.Hes to big to be a d'Uccle and doesn't have a beard, he could be a mix though of something like that.

 

[juliechick]

He's a Millie Fleur Cochin (Pekin). Doesn't look like he's mixed breed, just mixed color.

 

[Whittni]

That is Mille Fluer D'Uccle, not a bit of cochin in him.

I'm sorry I must strongly disagree. You are just looking at color, not at shape, size and other characteristics. D'uccles have a beard and muff, a much different tail and body shape.

This is a d'Uccle:

From the looks of his wings (longer than his body), he looks to be a bantam, so I'm going with Mille Fleur Booted Bantam. http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGK/Millies/BRKMilleFleur.html

And yes, mille fleur is a color, d'Uccles are a breed, also referred to as Belgian d'Uccles. There are many breeds that come with mille fleur coloring (mille fleur, btw, means many flowers

). And since d'Uccles are supposed to have beards, I said Booted Bantam because he doesn't. BB don't have beards, but have the leg feathering.

There are a few actual Booted Bantams here... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&cp=19&gs_id=2b&xhr=t&q=mille+fleur+booted+bantam&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&biw=1280&bih=602&wrapid=tljp1323025728828034&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=RsXbTtPyEIHn0QGX0IjoDQ

Notice they are mixed in with the d'Uccles.

I admit there's a little bit of rounded butt but I dunno, the could still be in the growing stage.

Millie Fleur Cochin

 

[Lady Chickadee]

I breed D'Uccles and they are way smaller than that and have beards and muffs.The picture of the mille fleur cochin that juliechick posted is very similar to him.

 

[Oregon Blues]

Isn't he pretty! No matter what he is. Are you keeping him?

 

[hdowden]

he looks like some project mille cochins i have seen on some of the egg actions
