Anyone have any idea about the genetics of the citreon mille fleur coloration? What would one need to breed to get this color and does it breed true? Curiosity is killing me!

I think that's a European color. Not sure about breeding one...​

I know they are bad coloring, but I just love them.

They look like a Mille Fleur dilute with the red gene.
Yummy...............

Is anyone looking for a pretty little roo? I can't keep him but don't want him used for baiting or food.
He has developed more white speckling since i took this pic. He still isn't crowing but i expect him to any day.
If anyone knows of a good home in Western WA please let me know.
