I read that choc is found in games.

 

[Backyard Farm]

what a pretty girl!!

She definitely looks choc. Will be interesting to see if she is dun or recessive.
... but a pretty girl in any case!
congrats!

I have heard that there are choc games but they seem to be dun rather than the recessive choc gene...

.... but I am still looking

I did hear back from Jerry. Not sure yet whether he has dun and recessive... but an exciting possibility!
thank you!

how do you find out if a bird is recessive or dun based chocolate?

Will their chick down (fuz) color say if they are rec or DB?

I've seen pics of chocolate fuz some with choc/white fuz and some that are plainly yellow fuz but they all seem to turn a chocolate color as adults.
I have actually witnessed these three types of fuzzy colored chicks in my seramas but never really kept any to breed.

How are matings done to figure this out?

Breeding will tell you whether it is dominant or recessive. Breed a chocolate coloured hen to a black cock--if daughters are chocolate coloured, it is Dun, not choc. If none are chocolate coloured, it is choc, which you can confirm by breeding the sons back to their mother.

Or you can breed a chocolate coloured cock to a black hen. If daughters are chocolate coloured, but no sons are, it is choc. If any sons are chocolate coloured, it is Dun.

I have the Dun wyandottes - not recessive chocolate. They breed just like andalusian blue.

I was wondering what the Old English breeders use when they make Fawn Duckwing OEs? I have seen some on eggbid before but never thought about which gene they are using. It might be worth it to contact the OEGBA and find out who breeds the Fawn Duckwing. From what I have seen the bird's base is a Khaki/Fawn in place of the black base.

Yes, fawn silver duckwing is dun-based. What I have not been able to nail down for certain is whether they are I^D/I^D or I^D/[which less dominant I-allele]

I've a chocolate serama pullet, still a baby and the breeder I think has another - and I want her...

They're rare for him. So I suppose I'll have to hatch a suitable male to work with her. Of course I have 43 serama eggs in the bator just now, with any luck it will kick out some form of compatible male. But both the chocolates I've seen from him are pullets, so it may be sex linked.
