Suggestions on crosses with Buff Orpingtons

[KrisRose]

I have two pullets from a BO/PR cross. Very pretty dark gold with some brown barring on back and tail feathers. One has white legs and the other yellow, its the only way to tell them apart.

I saw someone referenced a cross between BO and Barred rocks being sex linked at that link. Can someone explain how they are distinguished. I have both and would be interested in trying this combination.

I have had Gold Campine/BO crosses. They are buff with barred breasts and necks. I also have a Blue Andusian/BO cross. She is blue and buff with a black neck and head.

Hi ascott1978

First the male needs to be Buff or it won't work.

The female chicks will be black with some red or gold around the head. Males are black with a white dot and look just like Barred Rocks.

Awesome thanks for the insight. It will be about four months before I get to try it though. Again thanks.
