Mille fleur NN?

I’m not too sure but this was mine around 10-12 weeks: (the pair I showed you grown up a year old) The other in the pic you see in the background, passed away at 11 months. She was the sweetest. She is my profile pic.

Gosh, she does look very red... but it looks like white is coming in on her head. Maybe she will be more mottled or calico than mille.
I have 7 babies which the breeder said the parents were MF. 2 are mottled, 2 are frizzled, one they called smooth mf, 1 splash, and one partridge which is picking up LOTS of white now. 😆
None were as red as she and only my splash was as blonde as the other person's MFs. 🤷‍♀
This is my little pinecone, Scottie, starting at two and a half/ three days to five weeks- (it posted mostly in order 😆🤷‍♀)

Have the chance to get this turken/ bantam cochin cross, but I have 2 questions....

1. At around 6 weeks, what are the chances this is a pullet

2. The breeder believes it will be mille fleur coloring, but I know that feathers change often before adult coloring comes in. Is this likely to be a mille fleur?

Not the best pictures, but all I have. Thanks!View attachment 2277093View attachment 2277094
Looks like a pullet so far. Will not be mille fleur, unless the turken parent is mottled. However, she will carry the mottling (white spot) gene, so could have mottled offspring if bred to another mottled or a bird that carries mottling.

I don't believe the turken hen is mottled. Thank you for the in depth explanation. I'm still new to chicken genetics and that was really helpful :)
