CHOCOLATE ORPINGTON or WYANDOTTE like Dr Clive Carefoot was breeding

you could breed a chocolate wyandotte (from Sand Hill) to a Orp (I personally would use black). I will be getting several chocolates from Sand Hill next year for my own breeding projects here, he he he he he. From my understanding they are the recessive ones, and the first breeding the chocolate will be sex linked (if I remember correctly it is all female chicks will be chocolate provided that the rosster is the chocolate and the hen not). This will make sexing chicks really easy the first generation. Of course all the roos will carry the chocolate gene too. Once a bantam is created, a standard could be made just as easily.
