I have a Chocolate Cuckoo Orpington ... He looks identical to his dad (an English fella) and Mom was a Chocolate Orpington. I don't happen to have any Chocolate Orpington, so I am not sure if I can get another of him, but I do have a Blue and a Lavender Orpington, and I'm testing out how the offspring turns out

...

- Besides his look, he's the most awesome Rooster I've ever owned. He is right now protecting 5 Hen (We had a loss of one recently). Like I mentioned, trying out for some of his offspring and I will update when they hatch (in a week or so).

What a handsome fellow. I hope you get lots of pretty babies like him. Let us know how the breeding to the blue and lav turns out. Sounds like fun.
