Mille Fleur Leghorns - Image/picture anyone?

[katrinag]

I got them from a private breeder. I have 3 pullets and 1 roo. At about 8-10 weeks I was able to tell that the roo was indees a roo.
The roo is all 3 pics. You can see the pullet back behind him.
They harched 11-7-08. No eggs yet. But I can not wait. I will see if I have any more pullet pics for you.

they are fabulous! I wonder if they exist somewhere in rosecomb. That would be my dream bird....great layer, thrifty, camouflaged, and resistant to cold!

You can't tell by the color.
Have to wait a few weeks and watch combs.
Did you get them from sandhill?

 

[maralpz2006]

Yes i got from sand hill , ok thank you

Somehow when you mentioned light ones and dark ones Sandhill was what I was thinking.
Been there done that.
Their MF leghorns don't fit the leghorn type. The ones I had had smaller combs then leghorns should so they weren't as easy to sex as young as other leghorns are.
Post pics when they get a month or so old and I'm sure you can get some answers.
The difference in color is because some have some wrong genes for mille fleur.
Mine also laid creme eggs instead of white.
