If y'all could see the smile on my face! This just made my night. I have had the WORST luck with roosters so far. I went and got her today and didnt have anything to compare her too so this is wonderful news so far she is extremely calm and sweet
When will her spots start to show up?

Usually as she gets older, after the first molt you should see more spots. Sometimes thought, they just seem to have the colombian gene and the mottled gene didn't show up.

Well, she looks young, so I would say a month or two, it takes a lot of molts for Millie Fleur's to get their adult pattern-
She has a nice buff color, so as long as those spots come in, she'll be a dazzling girl.

Thank y'all! I can't wait to see what she looks like when she get older. When do they usually start to lay? And how great of layers are they?

#1: Around maybe 6-8 months.
#2:Like many bantams, she will have good spurts throughout the year.

You could breed a reg mille or blue mille to her to keep the color straight.

Now I do have lots of Blue Mille's girls and boys
