white leghorns and Buff Orpingtons

[opbado]

what breed would you get if you cross a white leghorn Rooster with a buff orpington hen

You dont get a breed, you get a mutt/ hybrid. They would be mostly solid White with black spots. The reversed cross would be more interesting in my opinion and is a cross I hope to be doing this year with a BO roo on White Leghorn hens and with this the pullets produced would be Gold gened and should develope a good bit of Buff leakage as they feather out but the genetics of the White Leghorns wouldnt allow for them to be Sexlinked.

BTW WELCOME TO BYC !!!!!!!!!

The would probably be an " in between" size between the two of them and would probably get some of the fluffiness from the Buff Orps.
