Curious about breed cross

Last week sometime I posted about wondering if I had a cockerel because it had massive tail feathers at a younger age.... I loved the feedback. My family isn't new to chickens but we've never had a brood of our own hatch-- always purchased. Anyways I was wondering if anyone here had crossed a buff Ee hen and SLW rooster. Looking at them it looks like they laced wings with solid heads. Is that even possible??

She was mislabeled as a buff Orpington which became quite obvious when tufts came in blue eggs were laid. I'd post a pic but she's still feathering back in. We have partridge EEs that haven't gone broody thank goodness.
