Calicos are Mille Fluer with too much white/mottling, yes.

F2 and F3 are not ratings, they're generations of brother x sister. F1 is the offspring of two different purebred parents. F2 is the offspring of the F1 crossed together, F3 is the offspring of two F2 birds.

I have eggs right now under my silver penciled cochin. I have some buff cochins and hope that some of their eggs are there mated with him. I am hoping that will give more color to the babies. My female that hatched with Hop-Sing hardly has any of the gold/red She is mostly black and white so adding the buff hoping to get more of a mille fluer color in them.

I have chicks but not any adults unless you count juvies that will probably darken up as they get older.

This one may lose a lot of this white and be a "normal" MFC.

And I am pretty sure this fella will darken as he gets older. They usually do. th
