I have a few Buff Orpington cross ideas but I'm not sure what they'd look like. Right now I have a Buff Orpington rooster, Dexter, and I plan on breeding him again this spring.
Last year I bred him with my RIR/New Hampshire Red cross hens so I got a BO/RIR/NHR red mix hens, who are very pretty! They show traits of all the breeds (Mostly large Orpington frame and proficient egg laying of the Reds).
This year I plan to breed him to my Easter Egger hen and my White Cochin hen, I assume I'll get Buff Orpington looking chickens with muffs and/or a beard (BO/EE) and a Buff colored Cochin mix (BO/WC).
I am considered buying some more Orpington chicks this spring as well, in hopes to breed them to Dexter next year. So my questions are: What will a Buff Orpinton/Chocolate Oprington look like? What will a Buff Orpington/Blue Orpington look like?
I'm not done there, I have always wanted Blue Laced Red Wyandottes, what would the offspring of BLRD hen and a Buff Orpington rooster look like?
We all know chicks are hard to come by these days, so I'm not entirely sure I'll even get the breeds I want.
Feel free to post pictures if you've mixed these breeds before!
