Has anyone crossed these two chickens!?! What will I get!?

[Hangin Wit My Peeps]

I was wondering if anyone crossed Mille Fleur D'uccles with Porcelain D'uccles...and what would you get? Can anyone share pics of offspring of those two??? I would be forever in your debt.

I think I have heard that someone on here did and you get 50% Milles and 50% porcelain

ETA:Gracefulbantams that is who it was!!!! ask her

Um...I have 2 different ideas of what might happen and its either

you get all millies from first gen, but they carry the porcelain dilute gene

OR

you get 50% of each color...really can't remember which one it is LOL

 

[Hangin Wit My Peeps]

Thanks all! Getting 50% of each would be cool! I hope that's the way it goes lol I will do more searching to see if I can't find anything.

 

[Hangin Wit My Peeps]

I just found the info! I hope this is correct.

This was quoted from Kev

Perhaps to give perspective.. a mille fluer crossed with a porcelain gives you mille fluers. Because they are both literally the same pattern, the same color genes etc.. except porcelains have one extra- the lavender gene. It's recessive so the result are normal mille fluers. However if you cross one of the offspring to a porcelain, you get half porcelains and half milles.

This is REALLY nice to know!​

O ya! Now i remember lol

 

[Hangin Wit My Peeps]

I thought I remembered someone talking about that too but could not remember WHEN or where even! LOL

No, what you will get is basically a black d'uccle.
