there is not a bit of d'uccle in him at all. i raise these here is my self blue d'uccle (note: he is hq. he has wattles which sq ones do not. but for the most part the rest of him is great. i plan on working on his wattles and trying to see if i can get a better comb as well)

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:

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

thats a cochin or cochin mix. no d'uccle in him

wow didnt expect so many posts when i logged in.....i have a d'uccle roo here and this new roo is bigger than the d'uccle, same sort of colour pattern but looks very different (body shape)


so im gonna lean with the mf cochin bantam

still no owner appeared but i'll leave the signs up until the weekend.....if no one claims him he'll be staying with my bantams

thanks all!

He is without a doubt a cochin, bantam I am assuming based on the pic? His color is the Mille Fleur pattern. Pretty I might add, with a couple of good typey cochin hens he should produce so nice looking offspring.

Nice find to just wonder up in the yard.

Yep! I change my vote to this.

I agree with the others, that little man is definitely rocking a cochin caboose. Mille Fleur coloration. I'd keep him and give him some mille fleur girls! I think it's such a pretty color.

ive never seen that colour in cochin bantams here, so highly doubt i can find some pretty girls for him

ive seen buff or red here, and rarely on online forums a blue or red!
