I agree I think a new name would be a good idea to stop all of the confusion. 'Fraid I'm not as good at being tactful as Suze (Sonoran Silkes). Quite apart from needing name, the colour needs some direction, like a goal for the desired colour & pattern etc. Sorry, but some of those birds...

Krys, would it even make a true brown/red? Buff is not birchen based is it? No, it wouldn't be a brown red. Buff is usually wheaten based but in cochins they could be eb. What colour is the underfluff when a buff cochin's feathers are parted?

So a blue to a buff made lemon blues and brown reds But not to be confused with real lemon blues.

I am not sure if they are true LB cochins but they have the best and closest color to lemon blue Pretty colours but not lemon blue. A photo from the front would have shown more.

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?

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...

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. In some pictures, it looks to me like they might be trying to get to blue on extended black, but having lost the...

OK, so I guess mine aren't related to the lemons, dad is Buff and Mom is Blue. This is the result of my "Bluffs" Your bluffs are very pretty. Their colour would not usually be described as lemon blue. None of the pictures posted on this thread are the colour usually meant by lemon blue. This...

In other words you can't breed the lemon blue to lemon blue that has come from above crossing and get lemon blue can you? Just asking wondering what the future breeding would have to take place to continue the color. The confusion is in the name. The colour generally known, in the poultry...

The bird in the little pic looks almost like a blue buff columbian. The bird looks a generation or two on from a buff cross blue. From the birds in the pics, you could try using your sort of gold splash columbian type male, he looks to be heading in the direction of a splash version of the bird...

I think they're very pretty birds, but I can't see them ever getting to the genotype that is 'usually' necessary to attain lemon blue. The colour generally known as lemon blue is gold blue birchen which is quite a simple colour but it has a particular genotype. Without certain genes it will not...
