Mille fleur bantams?

[princessmama]

I have some eggs in the incubator we collected from a friend's yard. The chickens were hiding under the hedge so I didn't get a real good look at them (they are "imigrants" from the neighbor's yard, lol). They are bantams and look to me like mille fleur coloring. I don't remember if they had beards or feathered feet or not. Is there a mille fleur colored bantam other than the belgian d'uccle?

 

[gamebirdsonly]

Yes. I think there are OEG, and Booted bantams

Thanks for the reply

Sorry, what does OEG stand for?

d'uccles, d'anvers, old english, booted, dutch, cochins, list goes on and on, people just automatically think millie fluer is a d'uccle but it's just a mottled pattern color available in about any breed if you look hard enough for them

 

[princessmama]

Well, I know they aren't cochins

I shall have to try to get back over there with my camera (they wouldn't let me close enough to take pics with my phone)

Only two more days til lockdown tho, can't wait to see the little cuties
