I love my OEGB's, but there is just something special to me about the lemon blues... so of course I gotta have a hard time getting a good base, lol... this is one of my babies who thinks she is a call duck, lol...

Such a pretty chick. Love blue chicks. Have a hard time walking away from them when I see em.

My blue brassies are my favorites. Not because they're so pretty, but because they are always happy to see me. When I open their cage, they both hop up on the edge so I can pick them up.

I know that lemon cuckoo is a variety of Orpingtons, but their plumage is only lemon colored.

I plan to. I have never dubbed an oegb myself, so for the first time, I think I need to find someone to do it for me.

Lemon blue cuckoo old english game bantams...now that's something to strive for. Can you imagine?

That sounds amazing! Makes me want to go get a Lemon blue trio right this instant!

Quote: I definitely will. Thanks for your interest.

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

Very pretty and looks to be decent quality.

If they are OEGB, they carry their tails really well already. Don't know that I've ever had an OEBG chick do that. Are the legs blue? Usually little duckwing game bantam chicks have white legs. With that salmon color on the breast, the one in the first close-up pic looks like a pullet. Where did you get them?

 

[bantambury]

I thought all were pullets but one is getting waddles and a large comb already. The legs are a slate color..kinda off grey blue. Despite the fact i got them from TSC, i thibk hey carry themselves pretty well.

With the slate colored legs, they could be Dutch bantams as well. I know my local TSC gets chicks from Privett Hatchery. They have what days different breeds hatch, and if you know the day your chicks arrived, you can narrow it down. It's a lot of fun trying to figure out what you have.
