You're only 3.5 hours from me. I'll have eggs a little later in the season, but I've never shipped them. I also know a guy in Joplin that raises lemon blue and blue red OEGB. Lots of good breeders right around in your area. I would run an ad on CL and see what I could find. If you are ever down this way (Northwest Arkansas) I would give you some eggs. I have several varieties.

I have a question. I hatched a cockerel who I hoped was going to be cuckoo, but he turned out to be a sort of cuckoo, with yellowish tints to his hackles and saddle feathers. The thing is, he (in my opinion) has fantastic type! His tail is magnificent, and his stance is upright. My question is, would it be a bad idea to enter him in our county show so I can get an idea of what a judge thinks of him? Or should I just not? I can post a few pictures if needed.

I vote for pics. Would love to see him.

He's pretty relaxed in these photos. Also, he's still very young, so I haven't dubbed him yet.

He is handsome! Is there lemon blue in his parentage? I'd say he looks lemon cuckoo colored... but don't think that is a color??? Idk, but he is a nice looking boy!!

Nice. I like her breast shape, nice and even... sorry, I didn't ask if they were from your own birds or if they were shipped eggs?

Quote: I hatched them out of a blue cock I purchased at a show, and a cuckoo hen I purchased from a breeder. So I guess they could have almost any color in their genetics.
