Nancy, I'm just catching up and hearing of your loss. My heart goes out to you. I'm at a loss for words.

Nancy, Males can have yellow legs, but still be carriers of the willow leg gene, Females are not "carriers" - they either have willow legs or not. So if all your hens have yellow legs, the problem is with your male - irregardless of his leg color.

I'm still lurking and following along!! Just haven't posted for a while as I'm not breeding MF's anymore. But I still have my precious Tango (bred by Tim Kerbo). I thought I'd update you, as she is now 3 years old. This was her picture at one year: And here's a couple of her now:

Oh Lynne, I am so sorry to hear about Bridget, and I know you are grieving. I told you often how beautiful I thought she was. And I'm sure Rocky is missing her terribly. The entrance to Hacienda is certainly the proper resting place for her - what a beautiful tribute. Her legacy continues...

Quote: OK, what do you think of the type on this girl? https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/18946_mfc_pulelts_2_001.jpg She's just beautiful Lynne! Keep up the great work (as always!)

Quote: Amy, she looks like you saved the best for last!! I'd love to see a close-up of her!

Thought I'd post an update of little BooBoo, now at 7 weeks. Except for some lacing here and there, she's looks just like her Momma:

Quote: Can't really see the breast on the roo from the pic, but he sure looks nice!!!

Quote: Thanx Erin!! And again, thank you so much for your article on MF's. The dedication to Tom was a tough one to keep secret!!

Quote: Gail, In my experience, I've never had a cockerel feather out that way (wings). IMO it's a pullet. Thanx Lynne! Pullet is good news . . . I need some good news today.

Thanx Amy and Dave! The eyeliner is on top of the eye - not below. Does that make a difference? This pic is from last Saturday:

So little BooBoo is 3 weeks old today. None of my other MF chicks have had this pattern at this age. Can anyone show me pics of what a chick like this will mature into? Also, any guesses yet as to BooBoo's sex? I'd really like to give this little one a real name!

Quote: Looks like you're heading into the next breeding season ahead of the game! Well done!

I heard there was a MF shown at Crossroads. Does anyone know who it was? Any pics?

So last week, I found that I was not as great at collecting eggs as I thought I was, when I was greeted in the morning by this little "BooBoo" out in the coop: BooBoo quickly settled in, and within a couple of days was holding court with the elders in the coop: Here's BooBoo this morning, at...

Quote: Sweet! And it's good to hear from you again!

Quote: There is no "Calico Plumage" in the ABA Standard - can't speak to the APA SOP. So if you were to enter a bird in a show as a "Calico", the judges would have no criteria to judge it to. I'm sure you can tell by my questions I'm a newbie. Guess I had better purchase an ABA Standard in...

Quote: Unless for some reason a specific change for Cochins would be requested if/when they are submitted for ABA recognition, they should be bred to the ABA Standard for Mille Fleur Plumage. It can be found on page 230 of the current (2006) ABA Bantam Standard. (It is the same Mille Fleur...
