Quote: How are these beauties at laying? gloria Jean They aren't right now, but when they do, I get about 8-10 eggs a day from 15 hens.

They are getting there. We have Midas, our current mature roo, and a younger cockerel. Both are large, but not nearly as round shaped as the roosters you guys have. They are still leggy. Midas - Taken today. He's still coming back from molt, also. He looked really, really bad for a while. He...

Our Buffs are not imported, but this is one of our hens that is English-ly. She coming back from a molt, which why she's kind of mottled looking.

Just as a side note, we have decided to put our Lemon Cuckoos up for sale. You can see the link here.

Thanks for the pictures! Mine look like a mid-ground version of the rooster and the hen you have posted. Here are some pictures taken today: LCO #1: LCO #2: Picture to show contrast between their color and the color of our Buffs of the same age: Also a link to all of the pictures I've...

pips&peeps : They are either both females or you didn't get eggs from a LC to split LC eggs. It's storming today, but tomorrow I'll get pictures and see what y'all think at this point.

Here's what Green Fire said about them: Here’s how the color genetics work for lemon cuckoo Orpingtons: When we think of “pure” lemon cuckoo Orpingtons we usually envision the bright yellow color and dramatic white barred feather pattern that is the signature of this variety. This color and...

Quote: By breeding the splits together I believe you would get a mix of pure Lemon Cuckoos and more splits. I don't think you would get just plain Buffs, because both birds have at least 1 copy of the Cuckoo gene, so it should be expressed. That was my thought, but I wanted to get another...

Maybe y'all can help me wrap my head around this. I have 2 Lemon Cuckoo juvies which I believe to be a pair at this point. Both were hatched from Green Fire, who said they were from split to LC eggs. They have really light barring, which makes me to believe they have 1 copy of the LC gene since...

New pics of the Lemon Cuckoos taken today:

These are a couple of my Lemon Cuckoo Orpingtons that I ordered from Green Fire. Hatch date on these was 3/23/2011 and there are 2 of the 4 showing barring. The other 2 look solid Buff, which was what to be expected since they also sent split to Cuckoo, also. These will be in the same coop with...

I haven't been commenting on the shipping issue, but I got 17 chicks from Jody Hinkle this morning. They were shipped 3/28 at 5:00-ish in the afternoon via Express. Arrived this morning at 6:30. No problems whatsoever.

I'm still living precariously through y'all. Love seeing all the updates and pictures!

When we had Cochins, we plucked the vent feathers on the roo and just trimmed the hens and it improved fertility. Have fun giving booty trims today.

Thanks!

Bought 10 Lemon Cuckoo Orp eggs from Greenfire today. I'm so excited to get them I can hardly stand it.

Awesome! Better watch out next year 'cause you'll have some competition.

Quote: I know exactly what you mean! It really does help to get down at their level, though. It creates less distortion so you can see the true beauty of the bird. BTW I was out the day after Christmas when we had the first snow and was laying flat out on the snow taking pictures.
