SR and they are Buff Orp x White Leghorn
So far the chicks have been pretty tame not so flighty like leghorns, They are bigger then Leghorns more like dual purpose and are based white with buff color leakage.. kinda a splash white/cream/buff.

Heres one roo from awhile ago...

I'm trying to get a photo of him full grown but still waiting for his new person to catch a photo...

well no one has told me what colors but since I think egg color comes from papa (correct me if I'm wrong) the eggs should be a cream to brown... Orpington cockerel and white leghorn hen

I ain't no rocket (or egg) scientist but I think you are right about the color Coming from papa. See around here DW has the rule that we are NOT ALLOWED to have anything thart lays those NASTY WHITE EGGS !!!!! Hey maybe you could interest Ron.

Hey if anybody sees T HI at the show ask her and DD's about the 2:00am LaHar drill at thier house.

I am trying to get a little of each color and so far I have light brown, medium brown, 2 shades of green and white. I am hoping to add a blue and a dark brown and depending on the olive egger maybe a different green.

Since I'm in the city I think the multi colors of eggs will sell better

How rude of me as I was going to bed and recapping things in my head it dawned on me that I didn't even acknowledge your DD said HI to me. So sorry and tell her hi back.

I just turned this on this morning to get on real quick as we are readying to go. I read your post to DD, she was elated to be included. She is very excited to be going today.

Can't wait to see everyone later this morning.

sorry for those who cannot make it

DD just asked if CL would be there....I guess you know who I talk about and "quote". LOL.
