He is a handsome fellow !
Last year I had my Lemon Blue setup to only produce "Lemon Blues". I had a Splash lemon blue roo over Brown Red hens...and of course you can reverse the male with Brown Red X Splash lemon blue hens to only produce Lemon Blues. Funny, I had more request for the Lemon...
Kat,
It would be interesting to see the outcome of the matings. I cannot guess the genetic background in birds enough to even give you an idea of what the outcome might be, wish I could though. Maybe, someone here can tell you more. I like the 1st roo, he's handsome boy.
I have this Frizzle Brown Red cochin roo for sale. He is very fertile, I have raised many chick from him and one of his sons will replace him, so I no longer need or have the extra pen space to keep him.

Frizzabella is pretty. I have a Brown Red frizzle, he has been busy with the Brown Red hens..I will put one of his sons on my Lemon Blues to make some Frizzle Lemon Blues.
I like this pullet, her color is more lemon yellow than some of me other girls(which have some orange tint to them) but I wish her blue coloring was a bit lighter.
This cockerel need a bit more color in the hackles, I got my they will come in.
I was a bit cool and windy so he didn't want to pose .. so he is crouched up.
Here is a picture of another Lemon Blue roo that I have in my breeding pen. This guy does not have as much red as the other roo I post awhile back, but has more of a lemon color.

The Blue Red also uses the cross to the Andalusian blue gene variety, and if there is a blue variety in a breed they are easy crosses to do to make beautiful birds.

All he is genetically is a lemon blue roo with 2 copies of the blue gene. Yes, he can be reproduced...just like the splash from your typical blue genetics. If you breed the roo in the pic above to lemon blue hens you will get 50% Lemon Blue and 50% sport/splash lemon blue.
Thank you...

When you say "sport" would you define that for me. I'm completely confused about how that term is being used. I thought a sport was a TOTAL mutation of a gene. Is that how you're using it, or something else?
Sport / Lemon Blue Splash like the one below: When bred to Brown Red hens...
You could make Lemon Blues or Silver Blues by taking the offspring of either roo and from the blue hen and mate them(offspring)back to their fathers and you would be own your way to making them.
Nice Lemon blue frizzle boy I purchased a Brown red frizzle boy a few weeks ago to be included in my Lemon blue breeding program. I can hardly wait to see the frizzled babies.
I am not sure. He doesn't look like my Lemon Blue Splash, but he maybe the result of mating 2 LB Splashes together...might explain the washed out/lighter colors. Second guess would be maybe a Blue/Splash mixed with Buff. I would breed him to a Brown Red ..then you will know for sure if he is...
