genetically mille fleur and calico are the same. just a difference in how the markings are displayed. mille fleur = columbian and mottled. so mottled with mille will give you some mottled next generation and mille the following one.It was there and then it said no image so I went back on and put link. I don't know why my images not working.
So I could actually put both of the girls with my mottled/mille or my calico, right?
Try pic again.
This is not standard, desirable behavior in a Cochin. I would not want to reproduce that behavior.
I'm going to assume you have hatchery stock, so I would say breed them any way you would like to. You will not get any accepted colors unless you breed like to like, but if that is not a goal don't worry about it.I was wondering if someone can tell me which bantam cochins to pair together or what I can mix. I have just separated some of my hens because I read to keep them from other roosters for 3-4 weeks so you don't get the other roosters eggs. Here's what I ended up with in last years hatchings or so the eggs said.
Roosters:
Splash
Partridge
Mottled/Mille
Calico/Mille
Silver Laced
Blue Columbian
Hens:
Splash
2 - Mottled (but barely any white on them less than the Mille that looks mottled that I have pictured)
Mille (but looks mottled to me)
Silver Laced
White (but see a speck of gray on couple feathers)
Lavendar
Buff Columbian (loot calico to me)
Mille to left but looks mottled to me, my 2 mottles have less white than this one and only by feet. To the right was labeled buff columbian but she looks calico??

Well at first I think it is just because I am new to him. He did it a few times and once I layed down the law he seemed to smarten up. I would not breed anything aggressive to me or other chickens no matter the size. I had 4 gold/silver laced Cochins I was considering breeding but I ended up selling them as they were just to aggressive to everyone. I had a dog once who liked the taste of fresh lamb a little too much he was gone in a blink of an eye. Aggressiveness in any animal is not acceptable here. He does not fly at me, he just bit me twice when I let him out of the box, then another time when I held him. I held his head for a few seconds and he seemed to get the point he didn't do it again. I really do think it is because things here are all so new and he was trying to protect his hens.
