Black Orpington X RIR

[krismares]

I have RIR hens and a Black Orpington roo (and he is great!). One of the girls went broody and is getting ready to hatch a clutch. Any ideas of what I might expect the new birds to look like?

Black with red leakage around the head and back. Birds should take body-traits from both parents; should make a good, productive cross if the parents are from good stock; good laying in the girls, enough meat on the boys to make a meal.
