Thank you so muchCitron or Citroen(in dutch) often implies that it's a gold based bird diluted by recessive ig cream, the color/pattern name is of European Origin as the name is not found on American breeds.
Another name of Citron is Lemon..
Here is pictures of them I found from a member of this forum

These birds should be wheaten at the e locus(eWh/eWh) but also eb/eb(not the best of e allele if one is trying to get a Self Lemon Citron Colored bird) Columbian Co/Co and recessive cream ig/ig
My suggestion would be to use gold partridge hens with the Citron Rooster, Grab all of the F1 doughters and cross them with a Citron half brother from the Citron/Citron breeding pen.
