Buff Orpington / WC Black Polish cross? =O

[theup87]

I have the exact couple you have and ours look like the pics, we had a rooster and a hen first time. Recently we had another 4 more they are about month and a half old. They are an interesting looking cross breed. My mixed hen is a great layer, her eggs are smaller but consistent nonetheless. They have a funny looking head lol, stylish...

Can I post here a picture of our Buff Orpington and Partridge Bantam/Tophat cross? They are awesome, more eggs in incubator now. Trying to stabilize the breed.

Snacking on sweet potate chips. She is my youngest of 10, but 17 eggs in the incubator now. Been working on this breed for 1 1/2 years.

Welcome to BYC!
Beautiful bird!
You should post a new thread if you want more people to see this.

Have been breeding birds for 30 years, love the smaller and durable breeds here in Duluth MN. Poppa is a giant Buff Orpington, and his "wife" is a Polish Tophat, (black), with 1/2 Partridge Bantam. The mother's breed has been established for at least 10 years in my care. Since she is quite small, I am amazed she will take care of that giant Orpington. Her sister used to mate with a drake Mallard....crazy. The Mallard, however, died one night while defending the coop from a fox, who broke in during a flood.

Thank you, I am new here, but just getting the jist of it. Chickens are such an incredible link to the past, I just love 'em.

I don't have that exact cross... But I have a buff laced polish X buff orpington cross. This is what the baby grew up to look like:

Her name is lemondrop and she is about 6 months old in that pic but now she's close to 9 months and is already laying. I think this cross is just adorable.

I've got a young cockrel that looks just like that (father is the polish)
