Thanks KidCody- I appreciate the compliment. I went and took a look at your BYC page - your Jubilees and Chocolates look really great !! Your chocolate looks like he is a beautiful, rich chocolate, and not that dirty kind of black that I've seen.

What's the word on the red leakage on the blues? Should I cull or can he be used to breeding?

 

[BamaChicken]

I would not use him if you have other options that are just as good

 

[robnms]

He's the biggest roo I have but I do have others I could use. I want the big size and I should get it from the others, Right? They all came from the same place so the genes should be there. Am I right on this?

Thank you for the descriptions between the American and English a few pages back! Was thinking, well what do I have? Now I'm sure that I'm in the right place.

If your girls are large a shorter but good type male will still throw large offspring. How much red leakage does your bird have? A few hackle feathers or in the wings? PM mesome pics and I will give you my Opinion if you want.

I just wanted to issue a warning to people getting Lemon Cuckoo Orpingtons, I just looked on Ebay and most of the listings say that they are Double barred but show hens that are self buff (solid Buff no barring gene) eggs from these are most likely not going to be Homozygous (pure) Lemon Cuckoo. There was even one that just had Buff birds in the pictures.

Roger, your pictures remind me of this.

Beautiful birds!
