Anyone have a OEG Bantam X Japanese Bantam cross?

[DavidILoveYou22]

Hello! I recently acquired a straight run Japanese Bantam chick from the feed store, and if it is a rooster, am hoping to cross it with my friend's self-blue OEG bantam hen, when they are old enough. Has anyone done this before? Pictures? Pretty or ugly? Any replies with photos are especially appreciated!

No one?

I did it before with a black jap with grey in the neck to a blue mixed breed( I think it was the jap male to Cochin female). I got some nice black and blue japs out of them with nice short legs and type. You should get a nice color with different leg length and body and tail type.

Do you mean varieties or actual separate breeds? I didn't know there were more than one. Mine is a Black-tailed Buff, I think, if you mean variety.
