Lemon Blue Cochins~~***BRAND NEW PICTURES***~~~

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.

My rooster Bruce is a brown red. You can see him and his hens in my lemon blue album in my signature

[County Boy]

I'm not sure. Do you have a brighter picture. It's a little dark but I do think I see orange in him.

[County Boy]

I'm not sure he is lemon blue or just blue with some red leakage. IMO you can use him for a lemon blue project and see what you get but no guarantee's. It's worth a shot though.

He is not lemon blue and you would not get LB from him.
