My rooster Bruce is a brown red. You can see him and his hens in my lemon blue album in my signature.OK I couldn't find the post, so here is goes -
The blue gene works on black and red to fade them. The gene works the same way on all colors of birds, so you get a variety of results depending on the base colors. To produce true Lemon Blues, you start with Brown Red (black body with reddish brown head) and use a blue to get to Lemon Blue (grey body color with yellowish head). Splashes are whitish birds with blue and yellow splash markings in the areas that a LB has those colors.
The Andalusian genetics work like this:
BR x BR = 100% BR
BR x LB = 50% BR, 50% LB
LB x LB = 25% BR, 50% LB, 50% splash
Spl x Spl = 100% splash
Spl x BR = 100% LB
Spl x LB = 25% LB, 75% splash
If you breed splashes together or to LB, the color becomes more washed-out with each generation. It is probably best to cross these with a BR for best color.
Most LF LB's are actually buff crosses and not genetically LB. There are a few people working on LF BR's, and when they are available there will be LF LB's available as well.
LB is an ABA accepted color in bantams, but not an APA accepted color.
I have a brown red hen named Lynne. I got all these from Lynne.Yes, Bruce is indeed rare -you are very fortunate to have such a handsome and unusual fellow. You would do well to find some BR hens for him and establish a line. You could also use pure Blue hens to start a LB project with him. Many of your birds appear to be buff-based, very pretty but not genetically LB.
