Isn't it though?! I'm so glad this thread piqued my interest, I would have never thought to look them up otherwise.

yep,
I've alsways like them for a large fowl bird (just dont keep any LF) But in cream, now...might have to rethink this, they are nice...

nope, he looks more like a "sport "version of a serama or possibly a buff mix

Yes he is a serama, Jerry sends out birds to 4-hers for the cost of shipping he sent him the fellow behind him and an adorable hen.

Oh yep, I knew serama, didnt mean that in the "mix" part, meant buff color mix...

Both look nice too, Nice of Jerry to do that.

Came across this thread while idling looking for items related to creating the Citron coloring in Belgian bantam breeds. Glad I did, as now I'm on Ideals notification list for next year's Cream Light Brown Dutch bantam chicks. Phew. That hurdle jumped...thought finding a cream-carrying bantam would take much longer. Still going to look for an older bird though, as time is the next hurdle.

ETA: I should say, re-create the Citron here, in the US, as this beautiful variety has been around overseas for a long time.

you can use buff too. It in most cases carries cream (well the dilute gene). Buff is really a diluted red.
Takes a couple crosses but you can get it .
Just breed a buff to a mille if you want the cream lemon milles
little back crossing and you're done

thats not correct..

buff carry Dilute, which is a dominant gene, Cream is recessive, if anybody is wanting to introduce the cream color(or a lemon color) to any breed they would be better off staying Clear of the self buff birds, they carry so many unwanted genes, dominant and recessive it will set you back years of breeding... I myself am isolating the Dilute gene, I am at my 3 generation and I have yet to isolate it, I´ll need another 3 more generations to do it...

in short, use Cream dutch bantam, stay away from self buff

Would be better to put a Mille Fleur d'Uccle rooster over Dutch Bantams or the other way around?
