Thanks, guys. I'll be breeding her to a reg millie fluer roo. I'm totally amazed that what should have taken several generations took one....Somewhere, there has got to be a d'uccle roo hiding choc. in my pen.

Not sure where you are getting this? choc females pass the gene only to their sons. Bred to a black, the sons will all be split to choc (Choc+/choc). Daughters will be Choc+/- Only if the father carries choc will you get choc daughters.If she's chocolate, 50% of the females will show it, none of the males. Not sure what you next question was about.
That is incorrect. If she is chocolate, none of her chicks will show chocolate coloring but all of her sons will carry it. If she is dun, half the pullets and half the cockerels will be dun. This is definitely not a mutation. The dun and chocolate genes are not new and they were introduced somewhere in your lines.If she's chocolate, 50% of the females will show it, none of the males. Not sure what you next question was about.
First off, you have to know if this chocolate color is made from the Dun gene or the Recessive/Sex linked chocolate gene. I'm betting yours is dun.My bad. I didn't know the genes only crossed by opposite sex. I just assumed that if it takes 1 gene to show, any carrier could give it to a pullet.
