What do you get if you cross a rir roo and a buff orp hen?

I've never actually weighed Miss Nutmeg, but I can tell you, she's at least as heavy as my heaviest hens, my two Blue Orpingtons. I bet she's about 8 lbs or more.

I personally am calling my mixed chicks Designer chicks. I think that is so much better than Mutt. LOL

I have a hen that is the result of the reverse cross (RIR hen x BO Cock) and she looks a lot like a BO but is just a bit darker. Very pretty but she can be a real b***h to the other hens. Probably because she was picked on a lot when I added her to the flock!
