porecelain d'uccle.

will she stay tiny or does it look like a roo?

At this point, I would say that it is a female. Porcelain d'Uccles are a bantam breed, meaning that they are a minature version of a large chicken. She should be about 2-3 pounds when she's full grown.

If it's 3-4 months old, I'd say it's a pullet. A cockrel would've shown more comb development and hackle feathers.

I don't know about Porcelain d'Uccle, though. They're supposed to be bearded. Do have a full body picture of her?

d'Uccles are bearded, but booted bantams are the nonbearded variety. From the looks of her, I would say d'Uccle because I see a little bit of beard fuzz under her chin.
