What colour will these chicks turn out to be?

Keep in mind that Mille Fleur is a color pattern and not a breed. Cochins can have the Mille Fleur coloring. These feather site.com pages should help.

Cochins as chicks (no Mille Fleurs but you can see the Cochin body type):

Cochins as adults (scroll down halfway to see Mille Fleurs):

Also, d'Uccle adults, some with Mille Fleur coloring, chicks at the bottom of the page:

In my experience, young birds with the Mille Fleur coloring don't really get impressive until their second year, when they have adult feathering. Also, the white sections of Mille Fleur coloring tend to get larger with each molt, so that older birds appear much whiter than young adult birds.


Thank you.
 
So they're about 6 weeks now and they look like this....
Are they sablepoots?
I'm confident one is a pullet and the other a cockrel, but unsure about the chick in the foreground of the photos.... What do you think?

They do look like sablepoots. For now I would say 2 girls 1 boy.
