Lemon Cuckoo Orpington X Black Copper Marans

[lms0229]

Anyone know what they may look like as adults? Anyone ever cross these breeds before? The newborn chicks to me look similar to Golden Sebright Bantam chicks. Here are pictures of some babies in the first few days of life and at 2 weeks of age.

I haven't seen this cross...but they're lovely chicks.
Is the light colored chick the same breed?

No the light colored chick is a Lemon Cuckoo Orpington. The chicks are getting more color/pattern now, even more so than the golden laced Wyandotte chicks!

So that's what they look like when young.
It'll be interesting to see them when they're finished feathering.

Can you post some new pics of them. I'd love to see how they are growing out.

Here is a picture of the male at around 6 to 7 months old. I will see what pictures I have of the hens.

Wow!!! I love them! Beautiful!

They are excellent hens! Their eggs are as large as my Jersey Giant’s eggs and the egg color is a beautiful deep mauve pink. I love them!
