I have covered my lemon pyle hen with both a light brahma and a partridge roo. Does anybody out there know what I might get?

Lemon Pyle Brahma crossed with ? Now with chick pics

The partridge will throw you half with Lemon Pyle like color, and half with a Lemon Duckwing type color. The Light Brahma will throw you mainly odd Columbian colors.
If I were you I'd keep going on the track of the Partridge, and cross the lemon offspring back to the Lemon Pyle girl.
F2 birds will have a lot more Lemon Pyle to them.
Good luck! I cannot wait to see more Lemon Pyles around, they're the most dreamy Brahma in my opinion.

So far I have 6 chicks hatched from my Lemon Pyle hen. They are starting to feather. This is Peanut, the oldest. He/she is about 3 weeks old.

Well, the little brat went broody on me, so no more eggs for a while. I gave her some cochin eggs and she is very happily playing Mom.
Here she is with her foster babies.
These are her real babies, hatched in my 'bator.

Somebody help me get my head around this lemon blue color. What genes are in play here ?
Henk, you out there ?

Colornames are a bit strange.
Over here in europe by lemonblue we mean birchen based blue with cream hackles.
Note the crow wing on the rooster.
On birchen base however a gold groundcolor would already look flat as if somewhat diluted by the "lemon"-factor.
This effect is not shown in these pics:
So I doubt that this color has any gold diluters. Ignore the red shoulders...
Lemon pyle brahma could be made with splash (double dose blue) instead of dom.white.
Crossing these to a partridge would give you "lemon blue", but this would be a different color, not birchen based but partridge/brown based (no crow wing, lemon wing triangle).
That base would not have the flattening effect of birchen on groundcolor, so I guess you would need something like lemon/cream (gold diluter).
Dom.white when purebreed bleeches the groundcolor by itself. The only thing I don't get is why that would be more attractive than the original groundcolor (gold/red).
