Chocolate color...

[tothemoon]

I am looking for the breeds that can be found in chocolate color. Ive seen a few pics of the choc orps in the UK and have read the threads about them here, has anyone gotten a hold of any yet?

I feel like greenfire farms is breeding them. . . I'm not sure if they're for sale yet.

Greenfire hasn't gotten them imported yet.

I don't think the silkies or the polish are real chocolate, I think they would be dun.

Well doesn't chocolate breed true. And dun dosent.

The OP said "chocolate colour," not choc gene

Yes, most of the chocolate birds in the US are dun-based. choc is here, but not common; I think it is mostly found in serama, although some folks may be breeding it into other breeds.

I already have too many birds

I'll take a more evenly coloured khaki polish, though

and I can't believe I am saying this, but preferably a cock who is at least 2.
