Has Greenfire already got them or are they still in the process of importing them? I just haven't seen and update on their site. The last I saw was they are still working on importation. It would be great if they already have them.
Are there any pictures of the true Chocolate Orps?

Germaine here is a link to see a true Chocolate.
On the Practical Poultry Forum in UK they show them all the time and I think you can google Ramsely Orps and they have them in Large fowl.

I read this on a website about choc orps ...
Chocolate Orpingtons breed true - but there are some breeding combinations that are worth noting:
Chocolate Male X Chocolate Female = 100% Chocolate
Black Male X Chocolate Female = 50% Black Males carrying Chocolate, 50% Black Females
Chocolate Male X Black Female = 50% Black Males carrying Chocolate, 50% Chocolate Females
Black Male carrying Chocolate X Chocolate Female = 25% Chocolate Males, 25% Black Males carrying Chocolate, 25% Chocolate Females, 25% Black Females
Black Male carrying Chocolate X Black Female = 25% Black Males carrying Chocolate, 25% Black Males, 25% Chocolate Females, 25% Black Females.
Black males carrying the chocolate gene are called 'Split' cockerels.

Ohhhhh is my first and last thought as I looked at the Chocolate Orps. Beautiful, so beautiful. Thank you Julie and Chris!
Julie I just looked again and I didn't get your pm. Can you send another? I finally took some pictures of the babies, but they are not babies any more. I have to upload them and then I will post them!
Kathy, thank you for putting the genetic info up for us, you are always so thoughtful and sharing!!

Northwoods Poultry has already created a chocolate cuckoo variety of Orpington. However, I'd love to see how it turns out for you.
