    Color combination on Orpingtons

    Can any Orpington Genetic Geniuses help me out? I have jubilee english orpington hens, The colouring is not my favorite... Any idea if adding in a different orp rooster will give me a good color or will I be stuck with mutts?

    Fellow Canadians? Anyone else out there?
