What coloring will i get from a black orpington and white frizzle?

[_nope_]

I bought a white pekin bantam cross frizzle hen, and a black orpington rooster, so I was wondering what their offspring might come out like if anyone might have an answer, also if they will come out as larger frizzles?

If the Orpington is a Standard, then you shouldn't be breeding it with the bantam. He's too big for the hen completely. As far as color, most, if not all, of them will probably be black.

Thanks, I'm new to chickens and didn't know that know that, luckily she's only been out with her new flock for a few days so I don't think any damage has been done. Will put her in a separate pen and keep my eye out for a smaller rooster

Lacy Duckwing is a very knowledgeable person whom I trust completely, but dont people have mixed flocks all the time? Of standards and Bantams? Then hatch the eggs? Just wondering.

Yes. When people are breeding a bigger chicken breed with a smaller chicken breed, the rooster is the smaller bird, with the hen being bigger. I'm no stranger to seeing a bantam rooster with a flock of standard sized hens. A bigger rooster can accidentally injure a smaller hen, and when it comes to hatching, the bigger father can be the cause of the chicks out growing the egg. With a bigger hen to smaller rooster, there's no risk.

Not always. I have plenty of mixes that are bantam mom and standard dad. Only one i ever had problems with was a Japanese hen that had her tail hurt. Cochin here are always covered by a large fowl male with no issues

Thank you for clarification. That makes sense. You don't want to breed a female Yorkie to a male Lab. It is fine to breed a male Yorkie to a female Lab.

Exactly. (Funny, I almost mentioned dogs, and you ended up instead. )

Maybe look on Facebook or Instagram to look for a rooster near you. I’ve had people take some of my previous roosters before.
