Mille fleur cochins? Or do you mean more of a jubilee color?

The colour in cochins is usually called Mille Fleur. They are still in the project stage in US.
If you look at this thread you will see that a lot of people are working on developing this colour in US. The people are working together & getting some nice results. Good Luck.

For some reason i thought i heard that the Speckled color in Sussex was

also called spangled as in the color of OEG.


This could be wrong but it was just what i heard.

Is speckled more like mille fleur, or is it more like the OEGB spangled (mottled on BBR)?

 

[Dustin Biery]

I think its more like spangled. There isn't the background color different between males and females. I think genetically, they are more like spangleds than they are millie fluer.

UK Speckled Sussex are on wheaten (eWh) & are the mille fleur pattern with mahogany. They have a rich even red ground colour, both males & females.
I don't know about Speckled Sussex in US; they, seeingly, are on duckwing (e+).

 

[Dustin Biery]

But when you add mahogany to millie fluer, is it still millie fluer?

Editted because I cannot spell...
