Since we are talking varieties here, I would personally love to see a Mille Fleur and a Porcelaine developed. I\'m considering beginning a project of Milles myself, just not sure I have the time or resources to accompish that. And yes, it would be an ongoing project. The Mille color pattern, when correct, is stunning, and I think it would serve to generate even more interest in the breed, but I think the real interest will always be in the colored eggs, regardless of feather pattern.
So that being said, I would like any advice regarding how to start such a project, but on a small (very small) scale.
I was thinking the first step would be to cross a Mille D\' Uccle male over Buff Ameraucana females. I\'m thinking the feather legs, vulture hocks, and single comb could all be bred out in about four generations, is that a realistic goal? As far as conformation (body type) they seem to be very similar to Ameraucanas, any opinions on this?
