Buff Orpington x Barred Rock results (pics)

[rocks3flowers]

these are my surprise chicks. They are mixed rocks. White rock. Buff rock. Barred rock. Mixed with a white or barred rock roo. I look forward to see what I get and hope to get some beautiful mix rocks

Not a barred rock, but a golden cuckoo marans over a buff orpington. I hatched one baby. Roo and hen with the baby.

Close ups at 2 1/2 months old. I though it was a she, but im seeing wattles now. The marans you can tell at 2 weeks old.

I love the BO X BR cross.

3 months an a week of the golden cuckoo marans rooster over a buff orp hen. Same chick in my previous post.

What other hens do you have? I really don't think this bird came from a barred Rock hen, he has no barring.

Any guesses on what would happen if i used a silver laced orpington rooster?

A silver laced rooster over a barred Rock hen? You'd have a sex link offspring. Instead of the red leakage, your chicks would have silver leakage. And quite possibly some incomplete lacing on the pullets.

I am just trying to come up with fun new ideas to use my SLO Roo on. I'm relatively new and am open to suggestion. Also getting some Jubilee Orps tonight. Straight run.

I was told in another thread that my Roo here may be a Buff/Barred rock cross. Which would make sense to me because the man who gave him to us owned plenty of both.

Looks like a birchen

This old thread needs a bump. The cross from an orpington rooster/barred rock hen is beautiful. If any of my hens turn out to be good setters, I'm going to try for this. Too neat!
