Are you asking about the color pattern or breed? Mille Fleur is a color pattern, not a breed.

I'm a Farmer/Rancher Wife,Mom & Grandma No Farms, No food.
If you want house chickens and ducks in diapers then this is the forum for you.
I've got 50+ years of poultry experience, but this 'poultry' forum isn't for me anymore.
If you're going to complain about farmers, don't do it with a full belly or a mouthful.

Aren't they cute? I think they're Mille FLuers, but all I know is that they are Bantams and look much like Mille FLuers.

Here's a video: http://cacklehatchery.com/milliefluer.html

If it isn't a breed, I'm clearly asking about the color pattern.

To clarify, I posted a video. Also to clearify, I am wondering if they are Mille Fleur d'Uccles.

I posted this same question last week when I picked mine out of the bantam bin and yours look exactly like mine. smile Mine didn't have puffy cheeks, but the rest was all there. I was told to watch for "vulture hocks", which are feathers growing out of the back of their upper legs. Mine are beginning to grow these feathers so I am officially calling them Mille Fleur D'Uccles! wee They are too cute!

Thanks! IN the video they mention that they are "bearded", but all chicks look so similar yet so different, it is hard for me to tell.

Yes, someone posted that hatchery stock chicks don't always have this facial feathering. I looked around the different websites like you did and that was the closest match. I am so looking forward to watching them grow! We will have to post updates!
