RIR Roo + BO, EE, or Speckled Sussex Hen

[tulie13]

What would I end up with?

Rhode Island Orpingtons? Buff Reds?

Rhode Island Eggers? Easter Island Reds?

Rhode Island Sussex? Speckled Reds?

Would any of these be good/desirable crosses? The RIR hens are supposed to be very prolific layers - would some of this laying characteristic be passed on through the roo to another breed/cross?

Would a RIR roo + EE hen create a hen that lays blue-green or brown eggs?

Thoughts, anyone?

I like the sound of Easter Island Reds, I'll have to breed some myself
