Hello! I have a blue Orpington cross (maybe some leghorn in there?) rooster and chocolate Orpington hens. I cannot find a chart that says what colors I could expect from their chicks. I've found the reverse chart choc roo over blue hens but I imagine that the genetics aren't the same. Any ideas?

A blue rooster over chocolate hens would give you 50% black chicks and 50% blue chicks. The male offspring would carry one chocolate gene and the females none.
That's if everyone was pure for their colors. Obviously your rooster isn't if he's a mix. Without knowing what else he carries I couldn't say for sure something else might pop up.
 
Your rooster looks mauve to me which is blue and chocolate. He has some leakage but I don't think there's any Leghorn in him.
Crossed with chocolate hens he'd produce more mauves and chocolates.
