Hey Patty, Gator, Mike and other mille cochin enthusiasts

I finally found my good camera yesterday. Will try to get new pics of my parent and juvenile birds today or tomorrow.

ETA: oh P.S., with luck I'll have new mf babies hatching tomorrow. I can't wait. I finally trimmed the butts on my parents after I had so much trouble with fertility, and it seems to have worked!

I would have paid money to see you doing that haircut!

Glad it worked, good tip if fertility is an issue...

You can call it the cush clip....

THIS IS THE FIRST CHICK OUT OF MY MILLE MATING. DOES IT RESEMBLE A MILLE FLEUR CHICK?

I had some darker ones like that. Yours have plenty of fluff and foot feathering which is the main thing. It will take quite a few generations, I believe, before we start getting consistent mille fleur chicks.

Here's a couple new pictures of my babies that are five months old.

Tbird. You are well on your way.


My breeders are all producing fertile eggs now so I've been setting tons of eggs. I've got a bunch of young chicks that I can't wait to grow up and color out. Seeing Tbirds makes me really excited about the future.
