does anyone know what you get when you mix a buff Orpingtons with black tail Japanese?

You will not get a buff colored Black tail if that is what your asking. Long ago, I have had both of those. Would never get another American Orp. Love the English Orps, far better breeding. Loved the small Japs. But found the Ohiki a friendlier bird. So off the Black tailed Japs went to Flock Swaps and I do not have anymore. Will say this. I really loved the girls but they had to be sold with the males or no one would have taken anroo without the hen but everyone wants a hen.

We have sized down.
Last Fall we had over 200. Sold some off last fall and this Spring gave away & sold a lot off plus it was Spring pushed us over 500 counting chicks, so they were multiplying and sold off or gave away most of those too. Did away with some breeds entirely. Now when my friends see me they put their fingers up in a cross motion and say their husband said they can not have anymore chickens. Gave away alot. Australorps, gone, Barred Rocks Gone, Leghorns gone, RIRs gone, all were egg laying machines. Phoenix gone, Phoenix Bantams gone, most Ohiki gone, most Cochin Bantams gone, most Easter Eggers gone.

What We have now is:
4 outside runs (10x20) 8 hutches.
4 inside runs (10x20) metal building.

1. Bresse
2. Marans
3. Blue Laced Red English Orpingtons (YES)
4. Chocolate English Orpington Bantams (but)
Will eventually fade out the chocolates for Jubilee Eng Orps.

Calico Cochin Bantams & BabyDolls with
Japanese Ohiki (True Dwarf) interbred to create Samurai & Geisha ChinaDolls.
It has taken years to breed down the Calico Cochin Bantams to BabyDolls and then interbreed the BabyDolls to the Ohiki.
They are small front porch pets they lay the cutest eggs of different shades of pink-beiges to white. They do not eat much and are very clean. They are a treasure. They keep everything away from the front porch. No bugs on my front porch or veggetable garden.
NOW A DAYS, WE ONLY HAVE AROUND 100 including my son's.

Belonging to my son:
4 adult Anacona ducks and 3 juvenilles that we are not sure if because the two adults drakes have been horrible to the babies yesterday.

Small flock of Easter Eggers.
Several pheasants
Several pheasants running around our property (not counting)
Quail running around property. (Not counting)

I have

1 Australorp
1 White Silkie
2 Barred Rocks
1 Ameraucana

We also have two more Australorps and a Delaware White hen but they have been really aggressive towards our other five so I think we have to give them away. The other 5 are 4 weeks younger and just hide in a corner in the coop. If anyone can help that would be great.
