Ameraucana Hens x Buff Orpington Rooster

[KathrynTobianski]

I’m planning on hatching out some chicks that are out of a white Ameraucana and two wheaten Ameraucanas, they are being covered by a buff Orpington rooster.

What would eggs look like and has anyone tried this combo and have pictures of grow outs?

Thanks in advance!

Buff Orpington x white Ameraucana gives you white birds with buff fronts and maybe a couple of black specks.

Okay, I’m bad at describing.
Basically this color but with white replacing the black. (As long as these Ameraucanas are dominant white.)

Buff Orpington over a wheaten Ameraucana will give you black tailed buff chicks.

All offspring will have white legs, pea combs, beards, and pale green eggs.

Something like this?

Something like this?

Almost, just more white.
Those are really cute.

I know this is an old thread but Last spring I played around with crossing my Ameraucana (lavender) Rooster (that I acquired from a local breeder) with a Buff Orpington hen (from HH) I was told that I would get black birds (even kippenjungle.nl says black bird) and I was good with that, but that’s not what I hatched. The birds turned out being a white, grey, black laced bird (See my avatar). I told the breeder I get several birds from each year and the breeder said it was a fluke, and might be caused by the HH, Buff Orp., try again they should be black. So, I did another hatch and same, all white, grey, black laced birds. the boys are the same color but lace is broken (not complete) You can see boys (broken lace) and girls (defined lace) at 5 weeks.

I kept two Roosters and 6 hens from this hatch to play around this March 2026. The girls lay green eggs and lot of them even through the negative degrees weather.

The question I have is, if I take a Rooster and Hens from this hatch and breed them will I get the same type of bird feather pattern?

Can you post pictures of them? Self buff is known for giving a lot of leakage/patterning when crossed with black, and the silver gene must have come from the ameraucana.

The first picture is The dad (Lavender Ameraucana) and mom (Buff Orpington hen), others are their offspring. The lace is across three different hatches. I only kept 6 lace type girls.

The lavender Ameraucana does have leakage.
