She ended up with some lovely duns (or so they looked - creamy Tanish)  Very pretty birds.  She did not breed those offspring though, so no idea what would happen beyond the first generation. .   

google Muave orpington. a few people have been making them, kind of a pretty color. I dont know how true it breeds but have seen some pics of some. I think there is a member or two here making them.
