What color is my bantam cochin?

[MrsChickendad]

I have two identical bantam cochins, both roos. They are now 8 weeks old. I thought mama was my splash hen, turns out it was one of the red girls. Daddy is black or splash. This is what I got—but what color is it? And how did I get it, i.e. who is the daddy? Fluff and undersides are blue. Is this lemon-blue?

WOW! how cool!
I can't really tell what color though, a pic from the side would be helpful

Awesome birdy!

Looks splash or blue, but can you post more pics.

From that pic, he almost looks like he has female silver duckwing coloration. A pic from the side will help.

I will post a new photo tomorrow if I survive the field trip with my grandson's 3rd grade class. A friend took these for me today, so this is all I have for now. His hackles are coming in more gold than his chest, and underfluff and tail are mostly blue.

I know some people are working on lemon blue cochins, but can't find a picture anywhere of what they're supposed to look like!

This probably doesn' t help for now, but here is the other photo:

I survived the field trip with the 3rd grade today, so have an update for my bantam cochin roo. Here is a side view from this evening, what do you think? (the bird behind him is a dark blue laced red wyandotte)

Here's the view from the top, with twin brother in background:
