I have a mixed project pen that has Mille Fleur Cochins, SQ Mottled Cochins, and some Buff Brahmas. Oh and a frizzle.

Some will hatch pure mille fleur, and any others that hatch with be the genetics needed to create or improve it. I've got a bator full of eggs right now. When they hatch I can post some pictures if you like so you can see what hatches.

I do have 16 started birds right now. And there is no way I will be keeping all of them. So if your interested in getting actual birds I would be more than happy to ship some this fall.

Buff brahmas are a different breed totally and in no way can improve mille fleur cochins.

I said project birds. I never got mille fleur cochins to actually breed cochins.

Note I said to create.

Brahmas are much better suited for my climate.

I should put an or instead of and between create OR improve.

Sorry if that didn't come out right.

That's OK if you want to cross Cochin x Brahma, but you cannot sell them as Mille Fleur Cochins - even if you call them Projects. They will not be pure-bred Cochins, which is what the original OP is looking for.

I never intended to sell them as Cochins. I know they are not.

I was offering a mixed project group of eggs. Which is what I put. I noted some would be mille fleur and some would just be mixes that have the genetics to create the color mille fleur. I said nothing about being cochins.

I'm not sure what I did wrong. But I can delete my posts if you like. I have no intentions on causing problems or confusion.

As a side note.

There are many people that sell mille fleurs. I suggest Lynne or Nancy. Both are very nice, and have beautiful birds.​
