I tryed earlier this morning to post but i think I forgot to hit the post...
Anywho thats what I get for posting in the morning with no cup of coffee and rushing off to work. Forgive me also if its lurking in some obscure part of the forum, although I have high confidence of trying to post within this forum. >_<

I traded my turkish sultan hen and my spitzhauben hen for a full buff orpington and a 1/2 orpington cross of dubious genetics. They have the same rooster B.O. and they are approx. 12 weeks. They are also related to my younger quartet of chicks 2 and 2. So that makes a set of 3 x2. The little chicks are 4 weeks.
Is the b.o. a cockrel or hen.
Is the cross a hen, which I believe is a hen. What is her pattern and can 1 tell from it what parentage passed on to her from. What breeds might it be of with the o.b. I dont have a picture of the hen mother in question and I will post it as soon as I get it. I had these delivered to me as were both in same town.

I finally got a picture of the hen mother from the person I got the chicks from. She's obviously hen pecked and the rooster must be too rough on her. (She was a semi feral when the animal control officer caught her.) I can see she has a big ole floppy comb and wattles. A large white spot too. Im leaning towards a leghorn cross, brown and something else? I don't see gamefowl however.
