Hey everyone! I'm in the beginning of my chicken keeping journey. They are all between 8-10 weeks currently with the exception of my 8 lavender orpingtons.
I have three separate flocks and I'm wondering what chicks they could eventually produce!

I am keeping two roosters with the main flock ( or will be attempting to so long as they remain peaceful)
I have a light Brahma roo and a Buff Orpington roo

With them I have the following pullets:
Buff Orpingtons
Black Australorp
Barred rock
Easter eggers ( one is yellow with a gray head, one is dark gray and another is brown with orange/black splashed throughout)
Speckled Sussex
Light Brahma
An unknown either welsummer or a different type of easter egger
Black jersey Giant

In my bantam flock I have a Mille fleur rooster with the following pullets:
White silkie
Golden sebright
Porcelain d'uccle
Mille fleur d'uccle
( I hope to add a couple more breeds, suggestions for friendly bantam breeds?)

My third flock is all lavender orpington but the lesser quality pullets will be added to the big flock.

Pictures of mixes of my above breeds? Thank you!
 
Buff Orpington x black australorp (BO x black Jersey giant would look the same)-

Buff Orpington x barred rock-

Buff Orpington x speckled sussex- chicks with a coloring between the BO’s buff and the SS’s red. No mottling (white spots) in the first crossing.

Buff Orpington (rooster) x light Brahma (hen)- pullets will be buff, cockerels will basically look like a light Brahma due to the silver gene. They could also have buff leakage.

Light Brahma (rooster) x buff Orpington (hen)- all silver chicks, possibly with some buff leakage.

Light Brahma x black australorp- black chicks with silver leakage, will probably look like black sex link hens but with silver replacing the gold.

Light Brahma x black Jersey giant- same as buff Orpington x black australorp.

Light Brahma x speckled sussex - all silver chicks, possibly with some red leakage.

Light Brahma x barred rock - black pullets with silver leakage, black barred cockerels with silver leakage.


Silkie x mille fleur d’uccle (color will vary a lot depending on what’s under the white of the silkie)-

Sebright x mille fleur d’uccle (with a gold sebright, you won’t get any silver chicks)-

Porcelain d’uccle x mille fleur d’uccle would give you chicks that look like mille fleur d’uccles but carry the lavender gene (the gene that causes the lightened color of porcelains).


What you get with the unknown hen depends on what breed she is. What you get from the EEs depends on what they look like in pictures. Though you’ll likely get unexpected results with the EEs whatever they look like.
