I have a question for you breed "experts". If I were to cross a Buff Orpington rooster with a Black Australorp hen, what do you think I would come up with? What do you think the color of the offspring would be? What about temperament? And egg laying, what do you think would happen there? Would this be some sort of hybrid or would it be something in the Orpington family?

If I could send a picture I would. They are black and golden. Beautiful markings all throughout. One has a golden chest with black specs, golden barred wings. Another has barred wings, golden chest and a golden head. They are currently 3 weeks old.
