My records on the Lemon cuckoo start in 2006 so it has been a while since I started now.
I didn't mean to imply anyone was knocking me on comments here on the forum,no that could not be further from the truth.If anything I have had nothing but encouragement here and it is wonderful to visit and see what is happening.
I have had some extremely angry people at times try to take me down with comments on other forums.All that does is make me retreat back to my close support group and not post anything.
It hasn't been easy as the most common comment has been for years is they are just washed out buffs.Then I put in the wheatens in and still the same comments came,so two years ago I put in another breed that is lemon.The breed is extremely hard to find in Australia and I never thought I would find it.I was given a lead by the person who suggested the colour and then to buy them and get them here was the biggest deal as they were extremely expensive birds. Anyway got them and have crossed them twice now with 2 breeding seasons each year in the pekin's for me.My biggest fear is loosing them as I haven't given anyone any stock from them.Everytime I think I find someone I can trust to have some they act or say something that proves me wrong.I am highly suspisious at the best of times let alone with these pekin's. The strangest thing is though,I did it for myself to prove to myself I could.I didn't do it so other people could have them.I don't care about that at all.I just love them as I originally said in my yard.

congt334 Yvonne its not easy breeding a new colour and you should be receiving full support and encouragement from everyone. Sadly some peoples jealousy turns to negativity which I find strange because if they are true pekin lovers then they should be excited and supportive to you as ultimately they will be able to buy a few. It shows your strength of character and determination to ignore these people and continue and I have no doubt you will succeed.

this colour means not only a new genetic pool in Pekins but it can then be transferred to other breeds = mummaroo is 'breaking ground' and opening up many new avenues in the poultry world

Without even thinking about it you are/have created a new gene pool not only in Pekin but in the poultry world in general = that alone means you have achieved much ‘all for the sake of having these in your own back yard’

Thanks everyone for your encouragement.
I had a big scare with my lemons last night.Time to shut up the pens and all my new crosses were missing.I had moved them about 2 weeks before and so I thought they were back at the old pen.No I was wrong.Their first day out was just to much excitement for them.I knew they had to be somewhere so I spent 90 mins looking for them in the dark with the spotlight.I found one at a time in many different parts of the yard. The last 2 pullets were in a tree on the fence line,just waiting to be fox tucker. I am seriously thinking about moving them over to the house and giving them a special new home in the house yard.That way I can watch them closer.I have 2 Maremma's at the house as well as the ones in the chook yard. They watch everything. I know I was lucky this time.

Well – if you weren’t planning on having a heart attack THAT would have brought one on! Glad you found them all :-D glad to hear you didnt have an attack (other than a mightiliy stressful 90 mins)

And honestly = WHY ON EARTH DIDN’T YOU HAVE THEM IN THE HOUSE YARD TO START WITH ! ! ! Yes I am shouting at you ! ! ! = we have both done that a few times over the years so I know you are NOT suprised ! ! !
