Mille Fleur Bantam

This variety, in many folks' opinion, is the most fascinating of all bantams. They have many unusual characteristics and their reddish-bay feathers that are tipped in white really make them stand out. Their colors will get better with age and they are very nice birds.

Q&A

What color eggs do they lay?
Mille Fleur bantams lay light brown/cream colored eggs.

Can I order how many males and females I want?
Sorry, we do not offer sexed bantams of any breed. Bantam chicks are very small chicks when hatched, and we do not want to stress them by being examined for sexing, as well as being shipped. All bantam chicks are sold as "straight run", unsexed chicks.

are they foragers or setters???
Bantams are generally more active birds, so will forage. They are also good setters and mothers.

Does the mille flute come in a standard size
The Mille Fleur comes as a bantam breed only.

Sweetest and smartOur little Mille Fleur is an absolutely darling bird. She knows her name and will yell for attention if you call to her from anywhere in the yard. We’ve taught her to fly to an arm or shoulder, but she’ll only do it when invited. Once on a shoulder, she’ll happily ride around while I do chores. In a flock of large ducks, a few other bantam breeds and 20 something standards, she roosts at the very top, right next to our giant, old man faverolle rooster. I don’t even care that she barely lays an egg a week for a few months. She is the coolest, funniest little bird and our family adores her.

Colorful and Fun!I received two of these as part of a variety batch and was thrilled. They both happened to be hens, but I would not have minded one of them being a roo as these birds are showy and add a lovely pop of color into my bantam flock. They have not started laying yet, but I didn't expect them to be one of the early or better producers in my flock... these are just for interest and enjoyment. They are very flighty (which is just a trait of the breed) but when caught they are easy enough to handle. I do find them to be decent foragers and spend time searching for bugs, etc. in their run. If you are okay with very low egg production but lots of personality and color, this would be a great breed for you!
