No, those are silvers and not very good colorwise. You really need to spring for a Standard; without it is like finding your way around in the dark.

Jerry, how are the eyes doing? Better we hope?
jerryse:
Getting cataract taken care of on 9/25.On the bad eye.Will have to see what that does.Currently bad eye has 8x more powerful prescription on glasses.Still wavy but not as bad.I keep it closed a lot as it interferes with my good eye.

I am working on something like a mottled project. I don't know if there is a separate gene for mottled and mille fleur type patterns. I'm working on the mille fleur type pattern with more white... like the calico cochin. I have seen both mottled and mille fleur patterns in Swedish Flower Hens. I have seen legs with dark pigment, mottled dark pigment, and no pigment.
