Mille fleur NN?

[VaultGirl27]

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!

No clue, sorry. Pattern is similar to mille fleur.

Ok thanks! I'm really hoping it ends up being a mille pullet

Chances are good its a pullet. It could be out of Millie Fleur parents but this chick is not Millie Fleur. I would call it (red with black leakage).

I agree, likely is a pullet! I am curious how the pattern will develop

She could get some more black and white speckling with future molts. But I doubt she ever gets to be a true millie fleur pattern.

Ok great, thanks for your help! I know the mille fleur pattern isn't as well established in bantam cochin and that's what the rooster was. Hen was a naked neck, not sure on color though

Meh. You never know. But I’m leaning towards no.
See MF looks more like this:
And on a chick: (the offspring of these 2 above)

I’m not seeing these colors, so I am unsure here. Look more like orange with a few dots of black.

Ahh ok. I just didn't know what mille fleur looks like when they are young and just feathering out. Thanks!

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.
