Are they as nice looking as the regular Mille Fleurs?

There's no such thing as 'a' Mille Fleur, that's a color. Several birds come in MF. But here are some pics of my roo. He is a Mille Fleur d'Uccle. smile

Princess, if you read the thread title as one sentence and Urban's post as the 2nd, she does know that mille fleur is a colour, and is asking about blue mille fleur in the d'uccle breed.

Princess, I know smile , but thanks lol.

Sonoran, I'm a he wink but that's ok.

I've never even heard of the Blues either, but I ordered some from Ideal. They are supposed to be just like the Blacks, but with blue replacing the black... I don't know. I've never seen a picture of one.

I'll check out the link to Cackle. I think I've seen the ones you're talking about, but I'll look anyways just to be sure smile

Thanks for the replies, everyone.

Sorry about the "she" wink

My friend raises them and showed some at the last show we had two weeks ago, but I did not grab pictures sorry. They were very pretty birds.
