Meet Little Bit and Pepper, two youngsters that I got not too long ago.

Little Bit - she tends to be quite active and difficult to get pics of.

I'm picking up 3 mottled cochin hens today (all mottled lines) to mate with my MF/Calico roos. Will the offspring all be mottled with just a bit of leakage or can I get MF/Calico with this cross?

You will get all mottled chicks You may not see any calico or MF until about the 3rd generation Good luck

Hi All,

All of my chickens are Calico or Mille except this one old black and white hen. From the last hatch this fall I got this white rooster. I know that the father is the rooster on the right, but I'm wondering if his mother is one of my Calico/Mille hens or this old B&W hen. He doesn't look like any of my other chickens.

example of my Mille/Calico frizzled and mottled with F1 mille/calico chicks --it all depends on what is hiding in your birds genetics, mostly it can be expected to get early generations that look more like the mottled bird with the vermillion hackles

My guess is the Mille/Calico line as your "white" has some Columbian characteristics which most people used columbian and mottled to get their Mille/Calico lines started

I want to thank you all for posting the pictures you did. These birds are absolutely wonderful and I am surprised how diverse the coloring is. Does someone have a napkin, I think I'm drooling...
