Those are very unique! They look like alien almost. But very eye appealing.
Thank you (I think)
Nellie,
Oh WOW! I am in love. Did you create this color yourself?
Marc I understand what you are saying but, I choice to work on this breed because of what greedy people have done to it. The ELCO does not deserve to fall to the wayside because of the making of the mighty dollar. Raising chickens should be about keeping legacy for future generations not lining a pockets. So I'll do what it takes to help bring it back. I have everything I need to pull the breed back into the right direction. The key is to keep the bad genes at bay if at possible. The problem is people want fashion chicken of the day, and when the fashion passes the chicken is discharged like an old shoe truly sad.Hi Vivi,
My only thought here: so sad that the original importer crossed his imported lemon cuckoos with another breed. Don't want to hurt your feelings since the sole responsability lies with him.
In my opinion they don't look like English Orpingtons at all.
I have here also 2 lemon cuckoo hens that I bought from a fellow breeder in NC and they look like nothing. I showed the creator of the Lemon Cuckoos (Bob Follows) some pictures of my birds and his comment was very short : cull them.
So the existing Lemon Cuckoos here in the States need a lot of work and dedication to bring them back to the English standard.
I'm putting a single factor red cuckoo 100% English Orpingtons with my 2 cull hens and hope to improve them in a couple of generations by selecting and culling thouroughly.
Again, I didn't want to hurt your feelings but a lot of work that was put in these birds by the original breeder was simply "destroyed" by breeding another chicken breed into them.
Marc
I know Marc does for a fact. I'm getting some birds not directly from him, but his line none the less in a week or two. I have been looking around and have found great stock both in his own birds, and the birds he passes on to those who do business with him. His site is HeirloomOrpingtons.com , or just PM him here. His username is redirevo.does anyone breed nice whites my daughter loves the whites we have bought hatching eggs before but where not happy at all with the type at all.an i have seen a few around but never any we really like type wise.so let see some pics lol.
Really pretty. Thanks for posting pics. Your pullet is so feminine
