I was wondering if anyone can help me with this young hen. I purchased 4 D'Uccles as chicks last spring. A Mille Flore, a white, a porcelain and a black.
The pic (sorry not the greatest picture) is of the black one(D'Uccle), but it doesn't look anything like the other 3. It almost has a top(hat of feathers), you can't see any type of comb. She is a lot bigger and seems to have shorter legs (or maybe the fatter body just makes them look shorter) Could she be something other than a D'Uccle or a mix? I'm still learning, so I don't know alot about different types of breeds yet. Does she look familiar to anyone? I'm not breeding, so it doesn't really matter, I'm just curious for learning sake. Her eggs are on the smaller side and white. Could she just be an odd D'Uccle?
Thanks for any info.
The d'Uccles are my 'pretty' birds. My favs (so far) seem to start with Delawares and Americaunas. But when I started out, I was given a D'Uccle roo that needed a home, and I picked up the little hens to make him happy.
(This is Jetta, my black 'd'Uccle.)
