At what age will Milli cochin chicks get their adult colors?

I'm not a frizzle fan but they are pretty cool

Lynne, you have gorgeous roos! Though that one is very nice, I think you have some that are just as beautiful!

Cadeau,
Love all the photos! Your breeding program is really taking off. I will give you my opinion but remember, it is my opinion and without being able to hold, turn and observe your birds I can only remark on what I see. I don't mind helping but they belong to you and it is your program so ultimately it is up to you what you think is best. (Tired of hearing all that, aren't you? LOL)

#1-keep, good color, pattern and type.
2 & 3 - can't tell from photo.
#4 - appears long backed but pattern and color appear nice.
#5 - good color, not sure about type.
#6 - looks typy, very good to use with right rooster.
#7 - keeper
#8 - long back, not sure about using.
#9 - looks like a keeper
#10 - doesn't look like a decent breeder
#11 - can't tell
#12 - very nice, keeper.

Hope I helped you some. It is good to hear some feed back to help you make decisions on where you want to go and what you want to do. Everyone has their own opinion but that is what I would go with personally. But you have seen some of my birds. I don't have the best ones but I make the best decisions I can with what knowledge I have.
Enjoy and keep the photos coming!

You can see a bit of an idea around 2-3 months old but I never accept what they will mature out at until they are 6 months old. Mine have changed even more at their 1 year old molt but not too drastically.

Not pure MF but they may have some in them. At least some Mottled in the first one. The second one has partridge and possibly some MF.
I love Frizzles and have quite a few. I got my first best MF Frizzle this year and I have a Mottled frizzle pullet. Projects are fun and I know you will enjoy these. They are really cute!

thank you for your input. I am loving all of the colors I have come across so far.

I am looking for a MF standard breeding pair in Texas if anyone knows of some.

There aren't any standard mille fleur. I think someone mentioned wayyyy back in the thread that someone had managed to make one but they didn't continue it.
