Carol today. Kind of a bad picture as it's indoors, but she was crabby. Sure a far cry from the beautiful buff/cuckoo frizzle I had. She's about 3 years old.

Carol is a buff. She molted and now is burnt orange. I will get a new picture of her.

Totally my mistake.
I assumed you were summing them up left to right, but you went right to left haha. I can see now that he's lemon!!
what a stud.

What hen would he need to breed with to get that same colour? Another lemon? Or not necessarily?

The breeder of the lemon rooster suggested I put him with buff hens, which is what I did. I got about 3/4 buffs and 1/4 lemon.

I forgot now why I had marked a couple with orange, maybe those were ones not to sell. I hatched so much this summer and should have kept better notes lol.
