Are my bantam cochins mille fleur?

[ChikNikki]

These four

little guys are cockadoodledooing so Im fairly sure they are males. But what breed?any help is very appreciated!

Oh…and this little girl is half the size of all our other chicks the same age. Tiny little sweet thing. Any ideas on her breed?

As I understand it, mille fleur should be "a thousand flowers" and be comprised of 3 colors...brown/tan, white, and black....in a cascading dot pattern often on a tan base.

I think they would be considered mille fleur, although not great quality....but they are still developing their patterns. Some look more mottled than fleur.

Yes. They certainly look like bantam Cochins to me. I loved my mille fleur bantam Cochins. I had 2 girls (who have passed from old age...and one was a hawk kill). They were wonderful broodies. I got them off a turkey farm. The owner was using mille fleur bantam Cochins to brood turkey eggs. LOL.
