Cross Breeds!!!!

[donrae]

I have a 20 week old rooster that looks like he might look like this some day.... I thought he was a cross between my Black Copper Marans rooster and a Red Star.. but now am thinking it's a cross with one of my Buff Orpington hens..

Here is patches.... What do you think? is the hen that produced the egg that hatched this boy a Red Star or Buff Orpington (a 3rd option is a Barred Rock, but I don't think so)?

I'm not positive on dominance of legs colors, but I think those white legs means his momma was an Orpington. None of the other breeds you mentioned have white legs.

Buff Orpington rooster x Barred Rock hens...

Cowgirl71 you still around on BYC?
Do you still raise these?

those BO x barred rocks are fantastic looking. that is a BO sire right? Are the hens good layers? what is the mature weight of the roos?

I had barred rock sire, buff orpington mother. The chicks were beautiful. Two roos and one hen. The hen looks like a buff orpington but has a slight barring of lighter yellow whick can barly be seen. The roosters had buff and white barrings with an acational bit of black.
