When will my Mille Fleur D' Uccle get her spots?

[Cleoandclover]

I purchased a Mille Fleur chick along with several others from My Pet Chicken hatchery. The little pullet hatched on the 22nd of March, and is already starting to feather out. But she has only brown-red and black in her feathers. No white mottling. If she were a serama, I'd know better, but she's not. When will she get the white, or did I buy a mutant chicken?

wait maybe 2 months. Even by then, their true feathers don't come in until 8 months old.

Thanks.

Sure its not a porcelain ? (Sp?) The last one I saw you had to see it in good light to really see the marks ... not show quality

I'm certain. She's the dark brown one next to the cage wall.

I was wondering the same about mine! She is such a tiny little thing, and her coloring is the same as yours. Only brown with the black, but no white. So I was wondering if maybe I was wrong about her being a mille fleur d'uccle. I so hope she does get some white spots because the ones I see on the web are so beautiful!! Here's a couple pics I took of her a few minutes ago... she is 6 weeks old

I know this is an old post, but did she ever get her spots? Mine still doesn’t have them at 8 weeks and looks a lot like yours in these pictures.

Bump, I’d also like to know what age they start getting spots… any updates?
