I wouldnt just throw her in your MFC project flock until you figure out what kind of chicks she is going to throw. Without knowing her background she could really mess up what you got going. She could be crossed with several different colors and still carry a recessive gene of any or all and when crossed with a bird with somewhat of the same makeup could give you some crazy colored birds, and nothing like what your looking for. I would cross her over a Mille male and see what you get from that mating before just tossing her in the flock so to speak. Needless to say she is a very gorgeous bird! She may also be a GL x Mottled as well as mentioned before and be Partridge x Mottled. Its not easily apparent without knowing her background somewhat.

What a nice compliment - thanks so much! Would you believe I now have a twin to her? I have to get a picture of them together. Her sister may be a shade better than she is... markings are so close I have to look twice to identify them. Can't wait to see what they produce.

This is Fugly, my cochin Roo as a chick and now full grown. Maybe she has someone like him in her linage
