DISTINCTION OF THE LEMON 84
While the "Lemon Hackles" rooster was famous internationally, the "Lemon 84" strain is only true in the Philippines. It was originated by Mr. Paeng Araneta. Based on his personal account, which I read in a book about Philippine cockers and breeders, this is his story.

Mr. Rafael Araneta's first visit to the Amicizia Farm of Duke Hulsey in Tangipahoa, Louisiana was i 1967. It was there that he came upon an "unusual lemon". It was a peacomb. He had it shipped to Manila. As friends kept asking him what he called the rooster, he noticed the leg band number and coined the name "LEMON 84". He states the pedigree of this strain as follows:

He bred the Lemon 84 cock (peacomb) to two Lemon hens which he had also bred from a battle-scarred winner he had acquired earlier.
He got some pullets which he bred back to 84' cock (father-daughter mating) and from the clutch picked two specimens which he bred to each other (brother-sister mating).
Again, he choose 2 of the most vigorous pullets and bred back to the 84' cock.
This time a pair of pullets showed up with green-legs.
From all the breeding of the "Lemons", Mr. Araneta was able to establish two families; One, typical "Lemon" with yellow legs. The other, looking more like peacomb, green legged Hatches which were dark red. In 1970 and 1971, the "Lemon 84's" were entered in the Internatinal Derby. They finished with runner-up honors in both occasions. However, the crowning glory of the Lemon 84 came in 1972, when they claimed the title in the International. Though they shared the honor with 2 other champion entris, it was nonetheless a monumental feat for it marked the first time in Philippine cockfighting history that a team of island-bred roosters were successfully pitted against an all imported line-up of opponents.
