This may be a stupid question, but here goes...
I raise Mille Fleur bantam Cochins. Regular black white and brown Mille Fleur. Great little guys, and getting better quality with each generation.
I also have, just for eggs and pets, four standard Cochin hens. They are blue.
If I were to cross one of the regular mille boys (Even though he's a bantam) to one of the standard blue girls, would it be possible to get a blue mille fleur from the cross, or does it not work like that?
Is there a way to get a blue mille without starting with one? I really want to get into blue milles but can't find and anywhere.
So I was thinking if I could get a blue mille from bantam mille to standard blue, I could keep breeding back to bantam milles until I had a bantam blue mille.
Here's the rooster I'm thinking about.
And a pretty old pic of the hen last summer.
