Mille Fleur Cochins Project

Mille Fleur Cochins - My Coopa Cabana Project
(Just click on any photo to enlarge it.)

With many Thanx to my BYC friends, I caught the highly contagious MFC bug in 2009! My first 2 pullets, Nutmeg and Ginger, came from Lynne in California. Shortly thereafter, my first cockerel, Paprika (aka 'Pappy'), came from Norm in New York. My next pullet, Tango, found her way home to me, and was bred by Tim in Oklahoma. And finally, my most recent cockerel is Bolero, bred by Rosemary in Colorado. These are now the foundation birds for MFC's at Coopa Cabana!

Cracker Jack (CJ) and Jackson are father and son. So, in 2011, I'm starting all over with only the following Mille Fleurs:
