Okay you finally got it. The father is an Australorp/Birchen mix that came from an Australorp hen and a very..... big hen chasing Birchen Cochin roo. The roo wasn't big, he just set his sights high and nabbed himself an Australorp hen.

This is the picture of the "family" of Buff hens and the mix roo. As you can see his colorations take after the Birchen father, but his size is definitely Australorp.
