Lemon Cuckoo Orpington..sorry

why wouldnt a lco hen show barring? if they get one copy they will show it, easy as that, if a hen does not show barring ,then she does not carry barring

I bought this as a pair of Lemon Cuckoo Orpingtons
I don't see barring on her. I was told that is because she only has one copy of the barring gene.
I'm just trying to understand.

sorry these birds are "Project" birds, the roo is clearly on the breeding back to BO stage(you can see black leaking thrue the tail, lco or Bo dont have this issue) the Hen is lacking barring all together, sorry to tell you but this are not LCO at all, can you use them to get there? if you breed the roo to her 50% of the hens will be barred(you will see it) and 50% of the roosters will be barred...

LCO hens do show barring I had some until about a week ago that had barring.

Oh I really like their colors. I don't want to darken them, so I'll scratch that cross with a buff. Thank you VIVI

Buff is so complex and not very well understood and documented, because of this I´m seggregating strange looking birds(buff can hid many other genes, as I have found out)..

here is BC1 hen(F1 back crossed to Buff or parent)

she looks like Mauve(a chocolate colored bird crossed with blue)






here is my Dilute Boy(ER/eWh Di/di+ and bunch of genetics coming out because he is ER) he also look like Chocolate blue mix







Only if you want to darken the buff color..
