(id+/id+) and the wheaton pullets, white legged? ( Id/-) then mating the (id+/id+) cockeral over the wheaton hens (Id/-) gives you chocolate coloured pullets with slate legs maybe you are on to something?

I like the sound of it. "Coco Laced Orps" Breed and cull for a few generations and you'll have some prize birds there.
