LOL I don't have a silkie/cochin, but I do have a silkie/ee roo. LOL he's about 1/4 silkie and fun to have around... his chicks seem to be the most popular at the swaps lately. LOL

Weeble. (with a mille fleur cochin photo bomb LOL)

Cool looking guy!!!!

They are well on their way to being decent Porcelains. A few more generations to get the pattern just right but I noticed that my Porcelains were easier than the original MF but I was working with a different breed. And they are girls.

The MF boy is looking nice. Pattern is close so find a nice typy MF hen and you will be set to go.

All my hens are blue or porcelain millefleur will they not breed true if I breed them to him? One is a teracotta base with blue chevrons. I will grt good pics! I have an opportunity to have some brilliant mf hens soon though just waiting for a new pen to be delivered. Thanks for your comments everyone. The ee x silkie is amazing so is the silkie mf cross. I have the perfect partner ill post a pic tomorrow they would have amazing babies.

Quote: porcelain involves the lavender gene (aka self blue) which is totally different from regular blue. so no, if you breed a porcelain to a blue, you'll get blues and blacks, not porcelain. unless you mean splash, not lavender/self blue.

Quote: I know! He has the most brilliant fiery coloring!

don't know how many read the regular cochin thread or just this one, but thought i'd share this guy... i'm really pleased with how he's growing.

kepiru. a product of my own mille fleur breeding efforts. slightly odd angles, but he was not standing flat, but on a piece of wood leaning up.

Most handsome!

I hear about people complaining they're not getting breast flowers on roos...

but kepiru has them, doesn't he?

I've sold/culled more roos very much like him that I wished would go to good breeder homes, that usually end up as someone's dinner more often than not. I just can't keep that many roos.

Right so I should get some normal millefleur hens to go with Dante. And get a porcelain boy to go with the others? I have a few more photos of him and also as promised the one of my little silkie x araucana 'Bea'.
