In French, "Mille Fleur" translates as "Thousand Flowers"--a poetic name appropriate for such magnificent plumage. The Mille Fleur pattern consists of a base of warm mahogany feathers, each one marked
with a black crescent-moon, and tipped with a gibbous silver
spangle. Picture yourself holding your soft little bearded, booted
Mille Fleur hen: The overall effect is that you are bearing tiny
bouquet of cheery flowers, or a collection of sparkling stars!
The
birds are known for their mysterious, quirky expressions, and are quite
friendly: a true favorite of adults and children alike. They are fair
layers of tiny, creamy colored eggs. Their mature coloring takes time
to manifest and does not usually appear until after the first
adult molt.
Mille Fleur d’Uccles are simply adorable. Their
sweet
disposition makes them a must for anyone who likes pet bantams; their
calm beauty means they are also an indispensable breed for anyone who likes to
show.
NOTE: WE CAN SHIP AS FEW AS FIVE BANTAMS, depending on your location. Our minimum orders for bantam babies run between five and ten, for their safety. There is no minimum per breed.
If you have questions about this policy, you can learn more by reading "How to determine the best minimum for you" below, or by visiting our
