Thanks! The Lemon Cuckoos are not a big priority. We really just wanted them to exhibit and show the differences with the American and Imported types. However, the color is nice.

I'll be able to send these out monday.
or i can offer EE eggs mixed with who knows what roosters - free ranged with sg dorking, crele oegb and calico/black/silver laced bantam cochin roos - breeding witnessed by dorking but have seen the others courting.
or if you want to wait i can do a mixture of purebred black/self blue, silver laced and white/frizzle bantam cochins. they should start laying soon (they're 5 months old) too and i can send them out once i've determined fertility there too. i've only got 4 hens in the 3 varieties... they hatched on thanksgiving day, the frizzle hen (white) is laying now but i haven't set any of her eggs yet. waiting on a few more first.
didn't mean to stall the thread. sorry guys.
here's pics of my laced hen and one of the black/self blues...
not a great pic, that was over a month ago and her tail hadn't fluffed in yet...
and the black roo at about 3 months old... they won't sit still for new pics.
here's my adolescent dorking flock earlier this month... 2 of the hens have started laying for me this week.
I have been down with the flu since Thursday.. hoping to feel better soon... can someone who frequents the swaps/egg chains pass the word for me.. I know I owe swaps...and hope to get caught up as soon as I can manage to even make it to the coop for eggs..lots trashed..
