adding a BB hen will not do much since he is BBOB.... black and the orange conflict and orange wins.

The OB will continue to push more orange through the offspring removing more black and replacing it with orange

The FFOB hen FF when combined with BB will turn the black in BB to orange... the OB will continue to change black to orange as well. Since FF is co dominant you should also get some young that are FFOB/BB offspring, OB/FFBB offspring

I would pair it with the FFOB... you should get offspring with more orange through the body... is the hen split BB or full BB also?

She looks like she has a BB tail... she will be fine to use. I do not see any signs of full OB or a split to ob. splits do not always show markers.
