Is the light one a splash in that picture then?

And so the blacks don't have the lemon color either? That makes it reddish?

The light female is splash....

Let me see if I can find some pictures of my friend's...

I really want to get some lemon blue cochin bantams. Where did you get yours?

From a local-ish (two-hour drive, one-way) breeder named Gail Parker.

Personally, I prefer the birds with less leakage. There isn't an SOP but I don't love the saddle and the shoulders picking up extra "lemon". It just looks like an overly leaky bird to me at that point. I do know that a lot of them need some work in the comb department.

Does she ship chicks or eggs?

Does she ship chicks or eggs?

Not to my knowledge.

Not to my knowledge.

Darn. I'll have to keep looking then.

Darn. I'll have to keep looking then.

I may be shipping next year.

Why have I never even read this thread!?
I'm beginning from page 1 right now.

After finally deciding to join the ORP Club, I need to start learning a bit about the breed.

OMG, that would be amazing. Your birds are so gorgeous.

Oh I love that male splash. So just to double check, if I got a splash male and a blue female, I would get blues and splashes?
