Crossing Buff with BBS Orpingtons

[momma's chickens]

I have been searching and found some info but was curious if you cross the two of these, what the babies would look like? I have a blue roo and a splash roo. The blue is in with two blue ladies and the splash is in with the egg laying flock. There are some buffs in there so I was wondering what the babies look liked if I hatched them?

I have one. He- she is only two weeks old so I can not be sure. I call it bandit. Around the eyes it is buff, the fuzz was all silver splash color but I noticed today that the wing feathers have started comeing in buff. It is big. But then its Daddy ,Suedes splash son is hugh too. I did not realize I had picked up one of the buff orp eggs to put under the broody. I only picked up 4 eggs. She hatched three of them. One was not fertile.
I have one black hen, I believe ,1 splash boy and one mixed. The mix was not intentional. Gloria Jean

Thank you so much for your reply. I wanted to breed my blue orp trio but my blue roo is not interested in the ladies and if he is, he is no good because none of the eggs are fertile!

This is what some of my Orpingtons ended up looking like from a blue orp roo with buff orp hens.
2 orange/brown and 1 brown/grey pullets

Blue/Buff

Black/Buff

I hope this helps.

Like Tony's, I have this boy.
I have let him breed back to a Buff, a Splash and a Black. BUSTOFF's mom is from a well known Buff Orp breeder. And my hopes is to make a Black or Blue version of this breeder's line.
Originally this was not my plan. But the BUS is too nice a type to not try. I have 5 of the BUS's babies ( 3 Blacks and 3 Blues), and plan on more.

Lildinkem- Bus is nice, I like his color.

Storm- Thank you, the brown grey I liked best, because when she was younger, the grey pattern on her breast was hearts shaped.

Wow Tony, I love the looks of your blue/buff and black/buff roosters. They are really handsome fellas!

Bus is handsome also lildinkem!

I love the cross colors that orps will give ya. I have two buff eggs in the bator right now that are a cross with my white orp rooster. Can't wait to see what they turn out like!?!
