Swedish Flower Hen and Jubilee Orpington cross

[SeaPony]

I was wondering if anyone has crossed Swedish flowers with the jubilee orpington? I will be making separate pens for them and was wanting to build a third pen to see what I get if I cross them.

Are these for meat birds ?

If not, maybe think about posting here to see if anybody has tried this cross.

My pure bred Orps rarely went over 3 pouds. The cross with a layer would mot make a bigger bird.

I guess I should have said that the dressed cockerels were rarely over 3 lbs. An adult 2 year old rooster of my Buff Orpingtons was ~7-8 pounds live weight. They were hatchery stock from Murray McMurray in the 80's. I am sure there are larger ones than mine were!
