Mille Fleur Roo X Bantam Ameraucana

[KAT_13]

My sweet splash Silkie went broody (first time experiencing this with any of my hens). So I decided to get a few bantam eggs for her, the Roo is a Mille Fleur and the hens are Milles and bantam Ameraucanas. I’m wondering if anyone knows what I should expect with a Mille bantam Ameraucana mix? Will the hens likely lay cream or blue? Also, any tips with a “natural hatching” and dealing with the rest of the flock? Thank you so much for your time and wisdom!

Depending on is your Ameracaunas are true Ameracaunas or EE will depend on what colors you will get. I believe when breeding a white layer to a blue layer u should get light blue eggs. The Mille Fleur x Millie Fleur will give u pure Mille Fleur. Are your Mille Fleurs , Mille Fleur D’Uccles

In my experience with hatching the nature way marking the eggs with a permanent marker so you know which eggs to collect so u don’t grab eggs that have babies in them . Don’t use pencil bc it just rubs off. And u have a better chance of getting girls and a higher hatch rate.

We had very cute chicks with this cross( EE bantams x d'Uccles) and nice adults.
One time only,see how yours turn out.
