It is my understanding that the American variety is much smaller in body than the English. I prefer the larger ones for my purpose.can someone tell me if there is a difference between a Black Orpington and an English Black Orpington?

Hi,I just read about the Australorp chicken. it said that the Australorp is the Australian verson (so to speak) of the English Black Orpington.
my Q is: what do you think i would get if i bred my Australorp Rooster w/my Lavender Orpingtons? and my Buff Orpingtons?
would i get Black orpingtons? and other colors?

My hatchery BO disappeared the other day with no signs of predation. Told my daughter to keep an eye out for her, and sure enough she showed up to eat in the middle of the day. She is brooding under my house right now! I cant see her or get to her so she doesn't have any food or water close by. And I have no ideal how many eggs she's sitting on or who's they are. She has been bred by my Lav Ameraucana. I wasn't planning on having chicks this late in the year and wasn't planning to have barn yard mixes either... But VERY excited to have my first broody!
That being said, I think both of my Lav Orps from the breeder are girls! I wonder if I bred them to my Lav Am will I get Lav OE? Planning to eat the Am pretty soon, so probably won't do it. But fun to think about all the possibilities. I would think I would be able to tell by 10 weeks if the LO were gonna be boys.
Lavs and buffs are always so soft. Though I haven't found Orps to be as friendly as many have claimed. I still enjoy them tons and the personalities seem to go through several phases. I guess with the maturing process.
