Buff Colombian Orpington Bantam: Anyone working on a project?

Quote:
I have successfully mated LF roos to tiny bantam hens (some roos were 3 to 4 times the size of the bantam hens and they did just fine.) I had not thought of using a Speckled Sussex instead but that may work better. Now that you mention it I think Hinkjc crossed SS to BO and got birds that looked to be on their way to a buff columbian. I love this forum so many good ideas.

Yep, hinkic used a SS roo on LF BO hens and the F1s looked kinda like NHReds, Which I believe is a Columbian based color as well.

New Hampshire's and Rhode Island Reds are both Columbian based.
