Buff Orpington X RIR pics?

[lil'chickies]

I have both and am wondering what a cross of the two would look like. Everything I have read says the BO makes a good momma. Just curious what could happen.

Thanks ya'll! Great forum with wonderful folks!

I think I remember reading somewhere that when you cross these two breeds you can tell their sex by their feathers. Maybe I was dreaming...........

I have my Meg, sired by a RIR over an exhibiton size Buff Orpington. Here's my big red girl.

I do this cross all the time. My friends call these my Amazon chicks. They are very big, hardy, and good egg layers. They are a dark cinnamon color and sometimes have some black in their tails. I can't sex them at birth, but someone else might be able to .
