Well just by looking at the pics, I've been thinking these that Chirpy Chicks has were largefowl, but not looking at them the do look like bantams and then I read the info and she said that they are only avaiable in bantams right now but she is hopeing to transfer the genes to largefowl.

It really shouldnt be a huge deal to get the gene transfered up to largefowl.

Yes, there is a fellow in the UK that has LF Chocolate Orpingtons and I am sure Greenfire had already found him.

RareRoo,
There are two different color phases in the regular Cuckoo Orpington, a light and a dark which one expresses the best in Lemon Cuckoo hen would have to be figured out.

Yeah but the hens usually have the one phase and thats what is hard about them ,but it does make them somewhat sexlinked, the roosters have two phases, homozygous barring ( the light phase) and heterozygous barring, ( the dark phase) I prefer the light phase in the roos.

Yeah he looks like an Orange Orpington. Sorta lololol He is my one and only accidental boy from back in Feb. SS on BO Initially I hated him. But, have gained a smidge of respect for my Orange mutt. His sis is floating around here somewhere too. And she looks like him. An orange Orp. lololol Now I have a new tweek on using him on one of these funky laced Blues for about a week or three this fall to see what pops out. Along with going back to his sis.

Pumpkinhead

A better head shot. Pumkinhead lives with Blue Lou

IF you really want to make a mutt, lets turn loose Pumpkinhead on her. She is a BUS baby and who knows what will happen.
