I have a couple of black Asil cross hens I may move out in the chocolate roosters pen to see if I can develop a hard feather chocolate line. Anyone else working on this?

Chocolate Muscovy ducks are Common

None of my chocolates ever had that red tinge. Silkies have some genes that combine to make some really cool looking colors

My chocolate Araucana project pen is finally moving forward now that I have my first chocolate male. The story is long so to make it short, I have not been able to get a chocolate male to breeding age since starting this project. I'm very excited and have al my black and chocolate hens with...

How cool is that! I'll have to try it too, I have Cemani....I wonder if it will be the same?

Most recent.....and most favorite chocolate Araucana chick so far. My line (not aware anyone else is working on these)

I am not selling any of my chocolates from my project pen until I've gotten them perfected and shown.

As far as I know, there is no recessive chocolate in Silkies. What breed will you bring in for the chocolate? There are chocolate looking colors in the Silkies already but I don't know how their genes work to make them look chocolate but they don't breed as chocolate does.

Gosh, I have no idea. Silkies seem to have their own genetics and they sure are a mess to learn. You should go to the Silkies group. Someone there would likely know

Here are some examples of decent photo's showing color. This is what I'm talking about, there is no doubt about the color. I took all of these and they are all my birds Sometimes, using birds of another color will help to show it better. It takes time and patience to catch them...

I don't disagree they are chocolate, they do not "look it" in the photo. Lighting and angles and junk in the background make it so hard to see what they are. I take Loads of pictures to get decent ones to share. If the photo's are really poor quality or poor lighting making them look...

There are no chocolates in those photo's. The fluff may look brown but that doesn't mean he's chocolate. It "appears" in the photo's that the rooster is black laced, if there is a single feather that is black, he can't be chocolate. It may be the lighting but I'm not seeing anything in the...

He is not chocolate. He may carry chocolate but he is not chocolate himself. What was the colors of the parents? If there is chocolate, you can usually track backwards and find it. Look at his tail, very obviously black and if there is a single black feather, then it's not chocolate.

Here is a "blue" Araucana hen. She would be normal blue when she molted and grew in fresh feathering but within a week, that blue turned to an almost chocolate looking color. Totally weird color but I would call it a dingy brown too. This is a "Blue" hen genetically but some might call her...

Can you post photo's of the chocolate hens, the GL rooster and the chicks? Blue lacing can also produce sort of a dingy brown color lacing. Are the chocolate hens Orpingtons? or a cross? What breed is the GL rooster? He would have to be a crossbreed to be chocolate laced.

He doesn't look chocolate, do you have any better photo's in natural lighting that actually show his color? Looks like his tail is black with green sheen? If it is then he is not chocolate.

If the hen is truly chocolate, then all the cockerels by the GL rooster over the chocolate hens will be chocolate carriers. Breed them back to the chocolate hens to test breed for chocolate

If they are recessive chocolate, you can't get chocolate chicks from a chocolate hen unless the rooster "is" chocolate or carries it. Who was the daddy to the chicks hatched from the chocolate hen?

The title is chocolate projects, so I thought I would add one more chocolate project....but they are not chickens.....however they are birds. My Muscovy ducks. They do come in chocolate but the chocolates are sort of mixed up in most flocks and the SOP calls for a proper chocolate with white...

I can't make heads or tails of your links, they're all mixed together and I can't get them to open. Sorry.
