This is my Buff / Lavender Orpington Cross. Both hen and rooster. Beautiful birds. Thought they were going to be black. But as they got older this is how they turned out. These birds are six months old.

Here what the chicken calculator says:


12.5% Pullets, blue unicolor
12.5% Pullets, fawn/dun unicolor
12.5% Pullets, khaki? unicolor
12.5% Pullets, black unicolor
12.5% Cockerels, blue unicolor
12.5% Cockerels, fawn/dun unicolor
12.5% Cockerels, khaki? unicolor
12.5% Cockerels, black unicolor

I've been trying to find out what you get with a lavender on blue cross?

Just making sure I understand your reply: Lavender/blue will result in a red and blue baby?

Yup, it's pretty nifty, even if it is half in German. Once you figure out your way around, it's really useful. Here's the link: http://kippenjungle.nl/kruisingKipFlex.html?DATA=S;Chicken

Oooh. I couldn't figure out how to use it.

Yes, I saw the pic, just wanted to make sure. It seems an odd result for this newbie. Thanks so much for the quick tutorial.
