Well, Lisa, his parents are gorgeous!

I still can't tell you if he's carrying chocolate or not, though...But, what would it hurt to put him with a little black girl? You could be very pleasantly surprised!
Here's a pic of one of my chocolate baby girls...

Guess who's not chocolate? These chicks are full siblings, from Choc+/choc over Choc/-. The one in back appears chocolate, but it is a male. At best, he carries the gene.

Diamante,
From what I can see, the young rooster is not chocolate. There is a beetle green sheen to his tail/saddle feathers. A chocolate, by definition, cannot also have black and the reason for this is that chocolate isn't selective about what areas are colored chocolate so anything black would be diluted to chocolate if he was chocolate. I have a black hen and a chocolate hen. The chocolate is so dark, I can't tell them apart at times but when there is any bright light, it's so obvious. The black hen has purplish and green sheen and the chocolate is a duller, flatter black that shows the chocolate at certain angles. Taking photo's really helped me to identify them that way. The photo captures that sheen and the chocolate shows better in photo's than to the eye as well.

Austinhart,
I really Love that lil pullet. Not sure I think she's chocolate but that white bib is stunning. Is that white down? feathers? She looks young, I would hope it would stay white that way, wow

Smoothmule, here is a picture of my hen that reminds me allot of yours. Mine however is not 100% serama anymore, she is the result of my chocolate serama rooster Hershey. The rooster in the picture is a chocolate carrier.

She is not genetically chocolate, but she will be bred to a chocolate cock when she comes to age (or a cocoapop frizzled boy, havent decided yet) her father is a mottle (my avatar) and her mom a silver ginger, most likely the bib will dissapear or turn to mottling, since i see no other mottling on the bird, i have to assume the former. she will carry the genes for mottling tho and eventually could produce a mottled or pied chick if bred to the right roo

when breeding seramas i find it easier to mate them to the same color you get more chicks that will look like the parent if you breed them the to the same color if not you get a lot of bird that will never match back to their parent this i learn from joey who is hands down one of the best breeder here in socal and cara hammer also has match color coco pop which breed out chocolate and coco pop and im lucky that she sell me some of her birds when i went to her old in San Diego so all these chocolate seramas breeder out their that i know here in socal are carahammer ,joey, and kate from Ocseramas and myself other then that i see mix here and there in socal
