New chicks to follow...
MF007 - 100% eB-Millefleur Offspring, 2 mind. 50% eB (I think a second hen was laying at the time, but I'm not sure which one...)

The EB millfleur has the charactaristique "black coat", grey belly and golden head, first wing feathers have no motteling

MF008 - The second has no dark coat, but is greyish brown.
MF009 - The third one has some rudimentery chipmunk stripes on the back and the first feathers are more creamy buff than brown.

Note the diffrence in size, the MF is 4 dys older, than the smaller one, who have one day difference.
