Hey everyone. Let's get a new Mille Cochin topic going. I'm still here to help anyone that is willing to breed these birds.

Don't worry about it. Sometimes tempers get short. We still have lots of talking to do!

Yay! I'm glad your starting a new one. I find this information and progress really interesting. To start I think everyone should post pictures of their birds. It's been a while since we have seen what they looked like. Especially since they are all older now.

She is quite extreme. Personally I like the effect, even if it is not what is desired. Were either or both of her parents extreme mottled?
