American serama thread!

[emrldgrn1]

I have several seramas but my questions are about these three pictured below. Pic 1 is the hen I have been told is chocolate, Pic 2 is the lighter roo I have been told is a Cocoa pop the 3rd and 4th pic are of the darker roo I am trying to confirm his color. He looks like he has black on him but if you look in the up close picture of him where Im holding him you can see that the color is a dark chocolate color that is the same as the darker chocolate feathers on my chocolate hen. His tail and wing feathers are not black either, they are a smoky milky dark, dark brown color. Now, I know he is of the silver duck wing pattern, but is he also chocolate? I realize that the pictures make them both look a bit orange but they are both truly several shades of browns with the necks being a creamy yellowish but not gold. I would like to start to sell my eggs but I need to know exactly what color these guys are before I advertize them as a particular color. Also I have been unable to reproduce any chocolate offspring thus far. The darker roo is the father of the Cocoa pop roo and I believe that the chocolate hen was the mother but am not sure. Now I have heard that you need to cover your chocolate hen with a black roo to get chocolate chicks. I have held back a black roo from this last hatch, he is not old enough to use yet, and as of today he is black with small white tips on his wings but no leakage of red...yet. ADVICE PLEASE!

Thanks a million in advance!

I've searched and searched, but have yet to find an answer. Ethel (her Roo is Fred) has gone broody and is sitting on around a dozen eggs. This is her first time. Assuming that I get a hatch, what do I need to do? Will she be able to care for them, or should I separate them and put them in a brooder?
