Not a new color, but I want to cross Orps and Brahmas to try and get a BIG (less hawk damage), winter laying (its cold here), broody (I want them to reproduce on their own), dual purpose bird.
I'm playing with colors now, Dark Brahma x BBS Orp could be pretty, Lt Brahma x Buff would give sex...
Does anyone have any pictures of a Light Brahma/Buff Orp cross?
Do the F1's have feathers on their legs? If not, will breeding F1 crosses bring the feathers back in the next generation?
Do they have the fluffy orp feathers, or the smooth brahma feathers?
How are their personalities as...
