Lemons..........I have to drool

[Bantimna]

I found these on the web!

Aren't the pretty

And guesss what they are Orpingtons Does anybody else have them?

The first one looks like a barred buff orpington, but I could be wrong. AS I am a noobie

 

[Bantimna]

The first is a Lemon Cuckoo Orpington.

Do these beautiful birds keep the good natured temperament of the plain Jane buff orps?
because I wouldn't mind spicing up the flock... I just do not want aggressive chickens mixed in with the meek.

Why is it lemon cuckoo rather than buff cuckoo?

The last photo looks more like a gold laced wyandotte, although I don't think type is quite correct for a wyandotte--not my breed so I am not certain on that--anyways, comb is wrong for an orpington.

In Europe, (which is were these birds are from that are pictured) they have more than 20 colors of Orpingtons.

I think the GL just has a particularly small single comb.

oh I just had a thought, if someone whated other colors, they could get in touch with the breeders of these birds and ask them how they did it.
