In some pictures, it looks to me like they might be trying to get to blue on extended black, but having lost the melanisers, (possibly with dilute?).


What is probably equally important is identifying where the buff/gold/lemon colouring should be--on both cock and hen, and if there is any particular secondary patterning or not.  Also, the amounts of each colouring--in some of the photos the birds are predominantly buff with a little blue, in others mostly blue and in others about half & half.

Well quite.....though not all of the phenotypes posted are possible to stabilise into something that will breed true even within the parameters of what is expected of blue.

We understand it's not True Lemon Blue. But until someone comes up with a new name and starts calling it something different I don't know what to call it.


I do not think one can call it a color until the color breeds true. JMO


Well, blue doesn't breed true wink  Predictably, but not true wink

I think one can name the goal before it is achieved; it certainly makes communication easier to have a name to use rather than sayig over and over "that bluish yellowish coloured bird we are trying to create."

However, coming up with a working standard is also important so that different breeders have the same goals, or if their goals differ, they are at least aware of the differences.


Good point. I had not thought of it that way.

Here are a few new pictures of my 6 babies from Lynn. There daddy is her stunning 'Lemon Boy' Cochin.

Some of them are heading towards blue (or splash) buff columbian, others look like blues with leakage. Basically typical of what one would expect given the possible genes from the initial cross.

As Sonoran Silkies asked earlier in the thread. Precisely what colour is being aimed for?

If you are looking for Lemon Blue Cochins , these are the best I have seen. I am not sure if they are true LB cochins but they have the best and closest color to lemon blue.
