What colour Pekin Bantam is this?

Hi all

Can anyone please tell me what colour this pekin bantam is and if in fact it is a pure pekin bantam (the tail looks a lot more feathery than pekins usually are).

Thanks

I’ve always known them as Lemon in colour. They look like Pekin to me.

Thanks for your reply! It's definitely close to lemon, but every time I do a comparison to lemon pekins online and my own, they don't look the same. Just can't put my finger on it!

They look to me to be Khaki, sometimes called 'White Chocolate'. It results from two copies of the Dun gene. I could be wrong, though.

Let me see if I still have any pics of the lemon that I hatched

Thanks everyone. Sneebsy - I tried to find pictures of the colours you mention, but couldn't find any. I will dig a little deeper on google!
