Red millefleur

Note

As the chickens of the millefleur color varieties age, the amount of white in the pattern will increase. Two-year-old chickens generally have the best pattern distribution.

Color and pattern male

Head: intensive dark-red.
Neck: hackle intensive dark-red ; each feather at the tip with a tiny diamond-shaped white mottle, at the inner tip connecting to the tip of the fairly short and tiny, diamond-shaped green-glossy black spangle, on the sides of the feather a dark-red ornamental fringe; front of the neck similar to the breast.

Back: intensive dark red , each feather with a diamond-shaped, green-glossy black spangle and a tiny white mottle at the feather tip.
Saddle: hackle similar to the neck-hackle, the green-glossy black shaft stripe pattern as well as the white tip at the end of each feather, are less noticeable than in the neck-hackle, because the feathers of the saddle-hackle ends thinner than those of the neck-hackle.
Tail: steering-feathers black, each feather with a white mottle at the end; sickles and coverts green-glossy black with a small white V-shaped mottle at the end.

Wings: bow feathers almost black; shoulder feathers intensive dark-red, sparsely with tiny white mottled tips; greater-coverts intensive dark-red each feather ending in a large, almost round, glossy green black spangle with a V-shaped white mottle, which forms a clear black and white wing-bar across the wing.

Primary-flights: inner-vane black, outer-vane black with a narrow dark-red lace, the lower end white-mottled.

Secondary-flights: outer-vane intensive dark-red, inner-vane dull black laced feather-end, which is white-mottled.

Breast: intensive dark-red, each feather ends in a large, almost round, green-glossy black spangle with a V-shaped white mottle.

Belly and thighs: approximately similar to the breast.

Down: dark-grey

Serious faults

Considerably too light or too dark shade of intensive dark-red ground-color. Shaft stripe pattern on the neck-hackle. Considerably too light breast color. Too much development of the spangles on the breast. Coarse white mottles. Completely vague blurry pattern. Too much white in the wing-flights. 

Color and pattern female

Head and neck: intensive dark-red, each feather ends in a green-glossy black spangle with a diamond-shaped pure white mottle; front of the neck similar to the breast.                 

Back and saddle-cushion: similar to the breast.

Tail: steering- feathers dull black, with a diamond-shaped pure white mottle; coverts similar to the breast; the upper-covert on each side is covered by a elongated covert, which is, except for the slightly longer black spangle, similar to the other coverts.

Wings: bow, shoulder and coverts intensive dark-red, each feather ends in a large, almost round, green-glossy black spangle with a V-shaped white mottle.

Primary-flights: inner-vane black, outer-vane slightly dark-red laced, lower end of the feathers white laced.

Secondary-flights: outer-vane intensive dark-red  to near the end of the feather, inner-vane dull black to almost the end of the feather and then broadening to the-outer vane, connecting to a white mottle at the end of the feather.

Breast: intensive dark-red, each feather ends in a large, almost round, green-glossy black spangle with a V-shaped white mottle.

Belly, thighs and rear-end: similar to the breast. 

Down: dark gray

Serious faults
