if its half leghorn and you bred it to a leghorn, it would probably take on most of the leghorns characteristics being 3/4th, 1/4th orpington.. or whatever, if a white leghorn more then likely to come white then. but it'd still be a little big and bulky

take him and cross him to whatever you want to breed him back to, Take the offspring out of each mating for 6 generations.. and by then its pretty much the exact same. But don't go any deeper into it.. after that you "branch out"

sorry to sound dumb...but i appreciate the help....''branch out''?

Well actually, nevermind the branch out part.. i was thinking about being bred back to mother/father, Grand- great grand, etc etc.. and then having to cross two lines together and "Branching out" into seperate familys.. just breed back 6 generations to whichever.. and then you can continue on as you wish.
