1st one is correct. Chocolate is sex-linked recessive so a chocolate male will always have chocolate based female offspring and all his sons will carry it.
Second one they must have meant choc F instead of black F
I have never seen a lemon cuckoo hen in person, but from the pictures I've seen the barring looks barely noticeable (on the hens) so maybe the breeder can't really see if they are lemon cuckoo... not sure if this helps at all.
Welcome to BYC! You could try crossing a Choc (chocolate) rooster with mottled hen, then the roos will be split Choc (and split mottled), so maybe cross them back to the mottled hens and a small percentage of the pullets will be choc mottled, them crossed with a mottled split Choc roo you should...
So I saw a Chocolate Cuckoo Orpington on craigslist, am thinking of getting him
This is him, looks good to me (but I've never seen a Choc Cuckoo Orp before)
This thread is awesome.
I might try to breed a chocolate chicken with the mahogany gene. I think I want it to be partridge based (e ^ b / e ^ b)
So the genotype would be e^b/e^b choc/choc Mh/Mh
AND it would be cool if it laid olive eggs...
OR I could make a chocolate CCL...
