Chocolate Silver laced Orpingtons

[carrollj]

I have some Chocolate Silver laced Orpington but I only have one rooster and a hen from the same hatch and I am running into genetic depression.
They are extremely rare where I am located so buying another (non-relative is not an option)
what is the best different color variety to use in my breeding program without venturing too far from this pattern? Silver laced, solid Black, etc.?

You could order chicks shipped to you from a breeder...

Silver laced would be the best to use in such an outcross. Breed your Chocolate Silver Laced male to Silver Laced females and the resulting offspring will be Silver Laced males carrying chocolate and Chocolate Silver Laced females.

Why not breed the pair you already have?
