The one with the most white, I call her Pearl, Has some good type. She is 3/4 Mille and 1/4 Mottled. I am tempted to breed her. I'll see how she look in March.
I work at Hobby Lobby too!, in the Framing Dept. Their headquarters is here in OKC. I applied for a Designer position but didn't get the job. They sure do have a lot of chickens and roosters in the home decor dept.
This is the first year I have breed Mottles together - a Black roo and a Blue pullet. Do Blues look bBlack when they hatch?. So far I have 15 chicks in various stages of growth, oldest being 3 and 1/2 mo. old. I have only 1 for sure Blue, (a very cute cockerel) and 2 much younger that may be...
Love everyone's birds.
I got an incubator. Actually my Chicken friend/neighbor bought it for me for helping him with his birds. It is a home-made Sportsman-style cabinet. It is holding steady at 99.5* and I have 38 eggs in it now.
My most valuable eggs go across the street to his 2 Sportsman...
No LF Mille Fleur or Calico Cochins yet because Mille Fleur is based on Black Mottled and Buff Columbian but there are no (that I know of) Buff Columbian LF Cochins.
A huge Mille Fleur would be a beautiful sight though!

cool! Among about 8 cockerels I've got 1 that has white and black tail feathers like your roo has. I hope he is a Calico, My friend gave me a pullet.
