Lemon pyle coloring

[Krys109uk]

I'd forgotten the birds in the first pic were not from the 'Chirpy Chickens' site.
I'd noticed that lighter coloured female at the top too. I got distracted by not being able to see the males breast.

My first thought was that it was the difference between dominant white & splash for the white parts????? Then I forgot about it when I could see the birds lose up at Chripy chickens.
I'm not well up on Brahmas. Blue partridge & 'lemon pyle' were around before I left UK. Prior to this thread I had thought the 'lemon pyles' to be splash partridge.

If just going for making the 'lemon pyle' personally I shouldn't have gone through making a blue partridge first but would have just introduced the blue into buff columbian.

I made my blue partridge orps using a blue Orp(because that's what I had) & cochin. They're taking longer than I anticipated. Quite apart from the fun leg colour issues, I also ran into the Ml & have difficulty telling whether the males are homozygous Pg.

You wont find any lemon pyle Brahmas in the US. I might be totally off base but isnt lemon pyle the splash variety of a blue partridge? Blue in 2 doses dilutes out all the black and leaves the red. Anyway you wont find blue partridge in the US either. Euro Brahma Technology is light years ahead of ours despite the fact that the breed originated in the US.


You might look for the color in OEG....but Im not positive.

I have blue partridge in my pen
