Buff Orpington/ Plymouth rock cross?

[linz]

Hi! I really like the attributes of the Plymouth Rock and the Buff Orpington. Does anyone know what the cross would look and act like, and how they would lay? Better yet, does anyone have a picture? Thanks!

Heck yeah

IF you cross a BR roo on BO hens, you will get all barred chicks ranging from clean black barred to some with a good bit of buff leakage.

If you cross a BO roo on BR hens, then you get sexlinks , this is what I did.

Here are the pics pullets are gold/black roos are silver/barred ( I sold them before they started laying so I don't know how well they they though)

Yep that is the most likely variety, but it's still good to check.
