i have somewhat of a mixed flock at this time with predominately a few Buff Brahmas and a few Buff Orpingtons and have found i like the lighter buff color of the orpingtons and the size of my Brahma/Orpington cross rooster. i intend to start a small breeding program to attempt to achieve the largest and lighter most butter creme color possible. If i introduce some White Jersey Giants and possibly Buff Cochin can i expect at some point in the preferably near future expect some XL light buff birds? I am much more familiar with breeding mamals and have heard that chicken genetics do not necessarily work the same. Am wearing myself out looking for and trying to read all pertinente posts so any info will be greatly appreciated.
