Chocolate projects? - Page 4

post #31 of 69

I forgot to include a photo of the hen most of these chicks came from.  I still have my split rooster and he has a black hen and 2 black pullets with him now. 

Here is Truffles,  she died late this summer.

Here are some hens I just got that I may use with my split chocolate rooster, they are still in quarantine and had been with a Cocopop rooster.  Two of them laid eggs today and I've set them this evening. 

Betty Boop, not chocolate and not really the best black color to get solid chocolate but I love her type and even with some patterning, I think she would make some nice chocolate chicks.

This is Candi.   I'm going to breed her to a black rooster (I have a couple bought but not here yet and they're still  young)  Not sure about her color but I like it.  Came from the same flock as Truffles.  She's still young and hasn't begun to lay yet.

And this lil hen is Gigi.  Gingered something.  I haven't decided who to breed her to yet but chocolate giner is a really pretty color so she may be bred to a chocolate later on.  I have a blue wheaten rooster she will live with first.

He believed that but so far out of his surviving stock no white bird was hatched... so its hard to proove that was het dominant white, most like Dr. B reeder, Danne Honour and I believe its Dominant Dilute...

Chocolate can varry in color by the presence or lack of melanizers..

Please explain what you meant by the sex-linked choc birds?  Those are chocolate wyandottes.
