What breed of bantam is this?

[Egg Snatcher]

I was wondering if any one could tell me if these chicks are Mille Fleur, Brown Red Japanese bantam cross. I know they are not a Molten Japanese bantam because they have puffy checks and feathered feet. Their feet are also turning blue. My Mille Fleur is my only chicken with puffy cheeks. I can get better pic tomorrow.

Black Mottled d'Uccle

Is he a Molten D’Uccle too. How do you think I got one of these by breeding https://www.backyardchickens.com/members/gray-farms.416359/

Black from the Japanese is dominant over the Buff from the d'Uccle. And the motteling from the d'Uccle is also dominant. Mille Fleur x Brown Red will produce Black Mottled and some may have buff/red leakage.

Thank you so much Gray Farms. Know I can breed Pure Molten D’Uccle.

Breed them back to the Millie Fleur d'Uccle to improve beard, muffs, and leg feathering.

Ok, I will. I’ll get a pic of the babies when they are old enough to breed. Should I breed them back to their mom or my other Mille Fleur that’s not related?

I'd breed back to their mother then breed those offspring to a different/unrelated one.
