Lemon blue? Help me ID the color of my bantam cochin!

[Jenski]

I have a bantam cochin pullet who was sold to me as a lemon blue, but she is very, very light. What do you all think? What would you call this color? Is it true lemon blue ~ or would you call this "lemon lavender?"

(she is a bit molty on her neck, but you get the idea)

Thanks for any "eddication and insight" you can offer!

I would "guess" yes she is. I don't know much about lemon blue though so I'd wait for someone else's opinion. She's a gorgeous bird.

WOW! Love the color! Nice bird........I don't know anything about Lemon Blue, but just wanted to say she is a looker.

If that's lemon blue I want some!

Look at the feathering on that girl's feet. She's amazing.

Looks lemon blue to me. They are still in the new phase and it will take a few more generations to get the color to looking precise plus she will change as she matures.
I love her!

Thanks everyone. She is a sweetie. Now all I have to do is chase her around trying to keep those fuzzy slippers dry!

LOL
With the rain the past few days I finally got fed up and just trimmed the girls' feet. They are much happier. they made so much mess in the nest boxes.

I'm just starting to breed Lemon Blue in Large Fowl Cochins. This is a pic of my Cock bird & the following is a pic of my F1 from him and a blue hen.

Thank you so much. The pic of Lemon Boy was taken about 2 months ago. He has since filled out. I'll try & get an updated pic of him this weekend & post it.

This Spring I plan to pen him with 4 Blue hens & see what happens!
