Mille Cochin Info

LOL! He was one of mama2my4's chicklets! Don't know where she got them from!

 

[Fancy Feathers]

They were my first shipped eggs

 

[rodriguezpoultry]

REALLY?! You shipped them to her? Does he look like his father then???

 

[Fancy Feathers]

No but he looks very much like his brother, my Peter.

 

[rodriguezpoultry]

Well look at that! This one (name??) is a bit whiter, but looks very similar!

The other two have better coloring, but have harder feathers than I would like in the tail and don't have a cushion. I REALLY liked him. mama2my4 kept the two REALLY good ones! I was drooling!

She was so sweet to let me have a chance to get a cockerel from her! Now just to "cull" the other two! Anyone looking for an extra male in PA?

 

[Fancy Feathers]

I really like the darker one she kept & I really like the one you got

It'll be interesting to see how much white my Peter and your cockerel keep to maturity. I'll most likely use Peter in a Calico pen.
Love your rolling Palomino!

 

[rodriguezpoultry]

Are these similar to the speckled sussex in that they develop more white as they mature? Or can they get darker instead?

 

[Fancy Feathers]

They get more color

 

[rodriguezpoultry]

Oh! So it's the exact opposite as the Speckled Sussex! THAT is nifty to know!

I figured since we have threads for buff barreds, calico, and mille's, we need one for mottleds. So I I built a mottled thread.
