You need a buff Columbian cochin for your mottled but that would be the long way to get mille cochin project started. It would take 2 or 3 generations before you would start to get milles. It would be far easier to purchase some started Mille Fleur Cochins from somebody else. Unless you are looking for a long project then I suggest you purchase started birds.

Just about all my girls are broody. I have 5 girls piled up in a single 22" x 12" nest box. I really must get new pics of the new babies.

I have a pair or trio of MF for sale but it is pick up only since it is too hot to ship. The pullet is blue based instead of black and the roo looks funky because the other roos in the pen are not happy with each other.
