meet Pixie, the ??? bantam

[LilPeeps]

I agree, mille fleur oegb, and definitely a female.

 

[technodoll]

Cool!

Thanks so much everyone!

She is a girl. and she is the mille fleur pattern so she shouldn't be a cross at least not an F1 cross. By the color of the tail feathers, I'd says she's a splash sport from blue mille fleur OG Games.

I was thinking something alsong that line too, she's very light just to be plain ol millie.

I'm not sure I can say that in one mouthful

So no chance that she's just a mutt?

I don't care either way, I think she's gorgeous and full of beans, I'll let you know when she starts laying and what her eggs look like.

So, she's an OEGB with a mille fleur pattern or am I just too eejit to understand what you're saying she is, LOL!

Her white legs really freak me out

 

[Boggy Bottom Bantams]

Nope, you've got it figured out.
The "blue " color in patterns effects the normal black feathers, With birds bred this way, you will get about 1/2 blued, 1/4 normal black, and 1/2 sport, which is kind of a paler, splashed up version of the normal color. Like her tail, see how it's colored.
Hope that helped! All that stuff can be a pain to try to figure out...

*nods sagely and pretends to understand*

LOL!

Thanks so much for all this info, for sure I'd still be in the dark and call her a dalmatian mix if it weren't for you guys!

 

[pedro24]

just a guess but maybe one of those D'uccles

 

[Boggy Bottom Bantams]

nope, d'uccles are feather footed, bearded, ear muffs, ect

Yep, I don't think she's the best quality for an OEGB, but she shoudn't be a mutt since she is millie fleur patterned, the mottling of the mille fleur is a recessive gene and if she were from some other parent and both of them weren't mottled or carried at least one mottleing gene, she would not be mottled herself, so since she is visually mottled, that means she carries two mottleing genes so that would make both of her parents being the mottled mille fleur color. As for the splash part, that would be where the normal colored milles have black tails, the black would have been replaced by andalusian blue, and breeding blue mille to blue mille would give a splash mille, like what I believe your girl to be. If you were to breed her to a normal black tailed mille fluer roo, they should produce all blue milles.

LOL I know genetics can be a lot to digest at one time, by it's real easy to learn and apply once you get the hang of it.

And also, No chance of her being a d'Uccle, because of all the features that Boggy Bottom Bantams listed.
