Mill Fleur Colored American Games

[centrarchid]

Anyone seen such a pattern in American Games? Would they be suitable for show? I have two pullets that will be close to mill fleur by time in adult feathering. It should be easy to improve upon the look.

This is first pullet. Camera not high quality. She is heterozygous for blue legs. She had a very large solid white patch on breast as a chick. Her full-sibling younger sister from subsequent brood still has white breast, but that will disappear. Genetics of this does not appear exactly same as in mill fleur variant of Leghorn. Some how this is based on brown-breasted brown reds I have, and they are not the same as those sold by Cackle Hatchery.

Full-sibling sister of same brood has same base color pattern and is heterozygous for toppy. No blue legs. They look a lot like wheaton if not for extensive barring in feathers.

Four pullets with these patterns will be bred back to their father in an attempt to get a male. Selection process ultimately will be to yield a mill fleur color pattern with blue legs and toppy.

They're pretty. I wouldn't mind some of those patterns running around my land

I am eager to take them to poultry show to see if I have a color pattern that is not DQ'ed door. I may have Silver Duckwing based on what appears to be a recessive version of wheaton when female side will appear buttermilk. All coming from original outcrossing graded back into my strain 75 to 87.5%.

Even the mill fleur color variant of American Game is not recognized by APA. Gets worse, my black Rampuri Aseels also not recognized.

Hmm too bad. Still pretty birds though. I'm sure people not motivated by shows would just scoop them up

I am unable to find sites that post rules and images of color varieties. Those that should be good appear shut down.

This cockerel has same base coloration as the mill fleur pullets.

Still working bugs out on new camera. This pullet on track to look just like her older sister at beginning of thread. The extensive white will be replaced.

Post pics of the parents some time. I'd be interested in seeing them.
