Beautiful! But isn't he millie fleur? Calico looks more like the hen in the pic (the very white one with buffish spots) or @HappyClucker7's Cochin Mamgo

He could be, I honestly know nothing about genetics/colors. You'd know better than me.
Edit: He sure does look like the Mille Fleur's on google. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I had no idea.

Almost and exact replica! I think you're right.

Yes, you're right. He definitely looks more like a Mille Fleur than a Calico.

My only pure BC currently is little Luna here, but she's only a few weeks old.

I have a ton of bantam cochin mixes though.

Any more pics of Luna or the Cochin mixes?

I haven’t shared my kids in awhile…they’re pet quality bantams but they’re sure cute anyway!

This is Emilio all grown up! He’s a pretty good little rooster. He’s third of the three boys and he knows his place most of the time! Now that his Cochin ladies are laying he has a little group just for him—even though he still tries! He looks pretty silly on top of my Big Momma hen Elinor the English Orp!

This is Ally. She is the prettiest blue coloring of all 4 but has a weird rose-like comb instead of straight. She’s the least friendly but she’s very pretty!

This is Molly all grown up. She is the biggest of the hens and has some tail feathers that are straight instead of curled under. She has fabulous feathered feet and is the friendliest (and bossiest) of my hens of either size

And last but not least Polly Pocket! She’s is an itty bitty thing but I think she’s beautiful and she’s a very sweet and gentle girl. She is smaller than my silkies though hehe.

I got some Porcelain d’Uccle hatching eggs from a lady in state and she threw in an extra egg from her bantam Cochin pen…so it will be a fun surprise to see what I get if it hatches!

Don't banty cochins look so big in photos but they're actually so small?
This is random, but when I look at a pic of a bantam cochin I say
"Whoa thats huge!"
