Thanks, that would be perfect.  Now I just have to hope they aren't all boys. 

waht kinda chicks would ya get if you mix a proclien with a mille fluer??? the rooster is a mille fluer

should get mille fleur with porcelain heritage but if you don't know the back ground of the chicks then there could be other colors pop up but all should have the mille pattern 

I have a gorgeous little 7 week old MF D'uccle roo I need to sell. My roos are all getting to the age that they are annoying my older boys so theyre getting picked on and its a huge mess.

 He is very very sweet and gets along great with everyone, especially his Silkie friends. He does like to use his good flying skills to his advantage and sneak out the coop door when you arent looking. I am in NC but close to SC so if anyone would like him, hes got great personality and would love to have his own flock.

I just did this exact pairing and got 3 regular mille hens and one blue mille rooster!

Pics of mine from today.

 FairLeaBantams, I grew up in Wisconsin but now live in southern Mich' near Lansing.  We're in  a drought, and it's HOT!  Hard to complain, given the places with no electricy and even warmer, though.  Mary

This is why I love my new guys. They are so sweet and cuddly. 

Oh my goodness, I just had my third broody girl hatch out my D'Uccles, mind you I have 1 Black Mottled rooster, 1 Blue Mottled hen and 2 Mille Fleur hens and have not gotten any Mille's  All three have hatched Blue and Black Mottled and a couple of Blacks with Mille bleed through. The only Mille's I got were when I hatched them myself. Now one Mille and the Blue Mottled have gone broody  so now no eggs to sell or hatch. I did give them the eggs that they collected so  maybe. I will post some pic's of the babies that are about 6 weeks  now and growing nicely. 

My babies from the banty bin, and my little porcelain trio  :)   None even close to show quality, but sooooo sweet!
