Mille Cochin Info

My opinion probabkly doesn't count for very much. 8 months ago I realy couldn't tell you what a cochin was, but I'm learning a lot fast (thanks to BYC). I'm still learning about form, but I really like the colors on Junnup, and the very last picture (the more calico) is probably my favorite. I think I might prefer the additional white in the feathers. I think that yours might have been the first mille cochin I ever saw and knew I loved them.
It seams that the colors change a lot on the same bird as is grows and matures, but in my opinion, for wahtever it's worth i like the colors of those two.

Coopa~ The Roo you like and the one you don't- it's the same Roo!

He got green paint on his feathers before that pic was taken, and I tried to hide it with all the bells & whistles on Picnik. HaHa. Same boy. He doesn't really have too much black. The hens are older now, I have to get new pics of them. Thanks for your input. Would like to get more.

So, you like Junupp & Shakaka best? Funny, so do I.

Thanks (yes, the colors will change on the same bird for a while).

Is anybody working on Large Fowl MFC?

If so, what colors are you breeding your Mille birds to in order to reproduce the Mille Fleur pattern?

Woo Hoo! I am awaiting delivery of my new bantam Mille Fleur cochin pair from Lynne at Wingshadows (wwmicasa1) in CA! She has given me the ok to post the pics she sent me of them so here is the start of my Mille Project!

They dont have names yet as I want to feel out each of their personality.. but here they are...

Hen ~ 6mo old

Rooster ~ 11mo old

Congrats on the new additions!

Both so nice! I think some of Lynne's Milles would help my flock.
I am really enjoying these beautiful birds.
Follow you Bliss - mine has feathers.
