Most of these are NOT lemon blues. Lemon blue is the same as brown red, but with the blue gene added. It is a crow wing (birchen) pattern.

These are my grandkid's lemon blue moderns:

Yes I know but some are true lemon blues!

Note that I said MOST were not; I didn't say that none are. Problem is people hear a name, and without a clue of the standard think it sounds right for "their colour." I never expect a project to be perfect, especially in the beginning, but I do expect that terms that are already in use will be pretty close to the goal, or else a different term should be used.

A bird that has both blue and lemon colouring is not lemon blue. It also needs to have the correct colours and patterns in the correct places.

Hey, I'm interested in this pullet.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about this color.
She's told to be about 3.5 months old.

I'm just interested in her as a pet, but I'm wondering if her color will change much?
I love the way she looks now. What do you think?

Thanks.

I have 14 silkie chicks, and I was wondering at watch age I should be able to tell the difference between male and female. Do only male silkies grow combs? And at what age should the females start laying?

Depends with sexing, anywhere from 3 months to 9 months ... I've heard many stories of hennish roosters never crowing till nearly a year old and having a henny crest to fool you, both will develop some comb, but the boys develop more around 5 months old. Hens depending on quality and line can be anywhere from 5 months to 9 months on average.
