    Black Orpington x Partridge Orpington

    I’ve got 5 chicks from a local Orpington breeder and they are black Orpingtons crossed with a dark partridge Orpington. I was just wondering if anyone has crossed these two colours and has photos of what they may end up looking like?

    Black Orpington Cockerels, Whatcom County WA
