We need help! We have some large Blue, Black and Splash Orpington's and need to know what colors we'll get when we breed them. I've seen with other blue breeds this table for Langshans, Pekins, Old English Bantams:

Blue X Blue = 50% blue, 25% splash, 25% black
Blue X Splash = 50% splash, 50% Blue
Splash X Splash = 100% splash

Would these results also be correct for Orpington's?

Also, on a side note: what happens if a Black Sumatra breeds with a Blue Orpington, they able to produce anything? What about a Black Sumatra and a Banty Mille Fleur d'Uccle? The Black Sumatara seems to think the little Banties are his for some reason

We'll be hatching eggs in the spring and I dont want too many surprises.

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, that helps a lot.

We like your signature... so where do we get a banty that think's he's 10 feet tall and bullet proof?! That has to be pure commedy!!
 
If you have a banty rooster, chances are you he will have that invincable attitude. They are so very funny! They have no clue that they are little. Beau, constantly puts my big Wyandotte roos in their places.
