Has anyone gotten any interesting buff orpington crosses?

I have buff orpington hens, but no rooster (on purpose!). Should I decide to add a rooster later (that is not a BO), wondering what others have bred to their buff orpington hens that resulted in offspring they really liked (color, temperament, production, etc). Pictures & description of said offspring greatly appreciated!
So excited to see what others have come up with!

Ive got a gorgeous Buff Orpington cross Wyandotte cross Welsummer
Her name is nugget and she was the result of a brother mate sister situation. That's her in the back of my profile pic.

I just had a few buff orpington rooster with Easter Egger hens cross babies hatch... 4 girls and 1 boy.. all are orange and 1 with chipmunk markings... i hatched 9 outta 11 eggs from my group and 1 bantam d'uccle egg, a brahma and a buff orpington were all from my silkie rooster. I'm gonna have a hell of a funny looking flock coming up

Have any pics of how your BO x EE babies are growing out?

So the chicks I bought for my BO broody have turned out not to be Orpingtons, well at least not pure. Definitely crosses if have Orpington blood. But I have 3 I'm keeping (for now). One is a cute & super sweet, not-so-little anymore cockerel. Blue boy with heavy feathering on shanks & outer toe lead me to believe he's got a lot of Cochin in him. Thankful for that considering what I've read about their usual dispositions & temperaments.

He's only 14 weeks old right now (& you can see how he compares with one of his "sisters", as well as my 1yr old Production Blue & BO hens), but if he continues to develop into a good rooster, curious as to what chicks would be produced. Anyone cross BO x Blue Cochin? Or even more generically, Orpington x Cochin?

Would obviously be a BIG bird & I'm also assuming would end with with a friendly, docile bird. But would LOVE to hear experience of anyone who's had any of these! Egg size, laying production, time to maturity, temperament, etc.

Thank you for any insight you can provide!
