Someone posted this in the Texas thread and I found it really interesting: http://austin.craigslist.org/grd/2666991838.html
Seems they say they have a Lavender mottled cockerel for sale and a pair of lemon cuckoo orps, SW of Austin.

Does this Lemon Cuckoo Orpington LF have good qualities?

This one is from the UK at http://www.birdtrader.co.uk/trio_lemon_cuckoo_orpington_large_fowl/advert/28017

I found some that look just like this in the US and I am wondering if this looks like a quality bird?

Looks good - this one is a little young though and does not appear to have its full growth on the feathers.

Yeah, I think he looks good too. I just don't know if the US birds will look quite as good. I get the implication that they will. But, there's that little bit of doubt. Maybe, I should just rely on the bloodline information given.
