Quote: Thanks, I am a little concerned about her comb, whether its jagged because of fighting or that's how it is.

Just posting some pics of my choc orp (split to mottled). She will be 7 months soon. Working on choc mottled project with her and looking for a choc mottled or split to mottled cockerel.

Love their names and nice to have 2 broodies caring for the chicks

Nice! My split grow-outs are almost 8 weeks now.

Got it! You have a very nice rooster btw. Do you plan on selling any hatching eggs/chicks from the project birds. I am a hobbyist and not a professional breeder just in case that matters.

You are right that my logic was incorrect about using a black mottled roo in the second cross. I guess my best and fastest bet is doing a sibling cross between the two and hatch enough chicks to get both choc mottled pullets and cockerels. The only problem is that as far as I heard, there is no...

I have just started with a Choc-Cuckoo rooster (or possibly a mauve rooster, she has been with both) and a black mottled hen. Hatch 2 chicks, 1 is obviously a black split to mottled boy and the other is either mauve and choc split to mottled. In either case its a pullet. The roosters and...

Would love to see pics of your mauve cuckoo chicks as they grow. Please tag me when you post pics.

There is no such thing as split for barring. If it has the barring gene, it will show. 1 gene would a single barred and 2 would be double. Only roosters can be double barred. Hens only have 1 barring gene. I am posting a picture of my rooster which is single barred but again its in a different...

Honestly, its very hard to tell from this picture because of the light reflection. However, the solid feather in the tail while not definitive but helped determine. Now I could be totally wrong because of the light. So I suggest you repost the picture without direct sunlight but in a bright...

First of all, its hard to tell from the picture whether its single barred or double. I am leaning towards single barred because of the solid choc feathers in the tail. Here will be the results if you have him with: 1. Single Barred x Chocolate: Half the chicks will be barred and half will...

I have a 21 weeks old Chocolate Orpington cockerel I would like to rehome. I am in Chicago but am NPIP and can ship if needed (although would prefer not to). Please PM me if interested.

Hi Jeremy, its the lighting. They do have choc expressed. These ones have crisper barring, the ones with not so crisp barring look more chocolate on camera

Just sharing couple of pics of my Chocolate Cuckoo pullets. They are seven weeks old:

As per my understanding, one cannot have a solid chocolate chick from a Double Barred Rooster x Chocolate hen. All chicks turn out to be single barred cuckoos. So if there are chocolate chicks, the rooster must be single barred. Unfortunately, I do not have the breeders, I bought the chicks from...

I am almost new to Orpingtons and just received some Chocolate Cuckoo and Chocolate chicks. They are 12 days old. I would appreciate if : a) The experts here can give their honest and straight-shooting opinion on the quality of the parent stock as well as the chicks. b) Also, while I...
