What's The best Ways To Breed Iowa Blues With Different Breeds?

[MysteryChicken]

Hello, Iowa Blue peoples.
I'm limited on chicken breeds I have available, for Iowa Blue breeding, & would like to start sometime.

Here's a chick that I hatched awhile ago, the cross I used was Buff Orpington/Barred Rock X Rhode Island Red.

Here's the same chick at 3-4 weeks of age.

Will get updated pictures tomorrow, supposed to rain all day today. Chick is 7 - 8 & half weeks old now.

The question is not specific enough!

The question is not specific enough!

I think the OP is asking which breeds, when crossed, will look the most similar to an Iowa Blue...

Try Silver Sussex...

So you don't think asking: What's the best way to breed Iowa Blues with different breeds? isn't specific enough?
What should I include in my question?

I'm limited on what I have to work with.

The origin of the Iowa Blue is still unknown, according multiple sources.
