Two years later and I have finally hatched out two bright lemon birds. I kept getting a pale version of peach/buff, but no lemon. I was aiming for this... and kept getting this... .But the lemon roo has finally done his homework and passed on two gorgeous little lemon chiffon babies...

Are you doing silkies? I have a proper white silkie roo that landed himself on the low man status once some of my young roos got older.

I know what you mean about shipping!

Update on color project- I do only the D'uccle for show. Everything else is just a backyard chicken for egg production for my neighbors. I do have a color project going. it's bringing the lemon coloration to the d'uccles. Here is the color I'm striving for, and what is currently in the d'uccles...

I have several new lemon babies, this is a nice roo I will be using on my mille girls. He's the very lemony chick that was at the start of this thread. this picture doesn't do the lemon justice.

Here's the little lemon silkie, the first lemon born on my farm! He has dark head feathers, blackish/brownish/gray. Here are some other lemons to enjoy... Lemon Spangled Hamburg Lemon roo, silkie/d'uccle cross. Needs a home because he's not in my breeding program. He also has two...

Finally, I have a lemon d'uccle with black instead of blue. This is first gen d'uccle/serama, so the next gen should bring back toe feathering and hocks.

Keep in mind that the white color is not the base color. there very well could be a base color the white is covering up. So, yippee! AND, keep in mind that two copies of silver will turn a bird white, so you may have a silver something or other. Good project!

Update on my roo, he's getting over fowl pox and fighting those little mites at the same time. I give him a bath each weekend to get rid of the mites and spray the crap out of my bathroom. So far, he's still hanging in there. He has given me some glorious birds, so I hope he makes it.

this is daddy. he's actually dying. I have him in my heated bathroom, with vicks on him wattles and givinh him antibiotics. Doesn't seem to be helping. it started with something in his lungs, now his lungs are quiet but his head is back and his feet are curled and he walks drunk. This is...

My citron d'uccle/serama cross. One step closer to lemon d'uccles. Also have a silver with blue cross, and another color I don't know what it is. it's the palest dove grey tinted tan. This is the lemon next to the pale mauve. There is a blue behind them.

I don't know anything about lacing, so I really can't answer that question. You could always do what I do and just lock ALL my hens in with the rooster and hatch them all. You just never know what you're going to get. I didn't know I had a rooster carrying chocolate! And on another note, I did...

What color chick do you want?

You can use the silver or gold gene, or Di or Champagne. Apparently, I have one of those genes already in my young stock. i also just hatched my first chocolate d'uccle!

Here is the Lemon Spangled Hamburg for my projects. Here is my lemon Silkie/d'uccle cross. Carrying the silver gene over buff And expecting my first three babies from these two in two weeks. It will be interesting to see the color from this cross, as I don't believe she simply carries...

Is that diluting the black or red?

Citron mille fleur d'uccles plus introducing and stabilizing the cocopop colorinto the d'uccles. Not really alot.

My cream light brown dutchs have arrived. The male roo was injured in shipping, but he seems to be doing better, so I believe he will make it. My little spangled hamburg is getting his first tiny spangles. I'm interested in seeing exactly what color lemon is, as I've only seen it on the screen...

Does that mean no black, or red shoulders....etc.

What does wildtype mean?
