Alright, got 2 more pictures. They are ugly colors but whatever.
The first one has the same type of comb as the rooster, the second white-ish one has 5 points.
 
The long and winding road to Lemon Blue (True Lemon Blue, not buffxblue).

Started looking for Lemon Blues to purchase and, of course, found none. Started with a few BBS just to be ready "someday". Started looking for Brown Reds. Found a few but so far away! Made it down to Crossroads and finally secured the Brown Reds - but just two hens. That's ok, I have the Blues at home.

Unable to stand the wait until Spring, hatched a few chicks over Winter. Well, of course the BBS Rooster had Silver genes rather than gold, so the first chicks are Silver Blues rather than the "Gold" necessary for Lemon Blues.



Even though they are E/ER and S/s+ (S/-) with more time and a few more pairings, some day I will have true Lemon Blues! And I thought it was just rooster x hen, eggs, hatch, viola! (just kidding)
