No Chocolates have pipped yet. I have another Lav split zipping, and 2 more labeled Lav that need to pip, 2 that are unlabeled that need to pip, and 8 choc split eggs that I am waiting for pips on.

Are they Ameraucanas? I'd really like to see the chocolate. Do you have a grown one?

They are Ameraucana, but I don't have grown ones yet. I got these eggs for hatching from Pip&Peeps, she has the adults, but they're still in the project stage. These eggs will be chco if female and black split to choc if male. Though there is a small chance of a choc male popping up since she said she had a choc roo fence jumper.

I think it was orpingtons.

Sounds like a very fluffy Am outcome. Ams are so fluffy already

I'm so excited for them, and to see if my splash chicks are carrying the silkied genes. They're ridiculously soft as is.

I think the top chick here might be chocolate?



There are 3 more Ams drying in the 'bator. Total hatched is 2 lavs, 2 lav splits, and 5 choc or choc splits. I can't tell yet, sometimes they look black and sometimes they don't depending on the lighting and what they're next to.
