I got chocolate in my peanut butter! Until I can get the copious amount of black out of my buff line, I want to dilute it with chocolate. These three are from a buff split for chocolate over a buff silkied. Doesn't the little beige girl look so much clearerer than her sibs? I'm hoping the white tips of her wings is not mottling; neither parent appear to carry the gene, but the paternal grandfather has produced mottles.

I have been breeding a white pair of seramas hoping to get some whites out of them, but instead I am getting all different colors even chocolates. At first I wasn't happy at all that I wasn't going to get any whites, but the more chocolates I get now, the happier I am. So they will be staying together as a pair for a while. I do not know that much about the chocolate gene and how it works, but i've got to decide next what to pair them up with with they get older. I have read to pair them up with black seramas which I don't have, but may try breeding some of the daughters back to dad if they are typie enough. I will try to post some pixs of the ones I have so far.

If your whites are the same kind of white (dom or rec), they should breed true. Since you're not getting any white, they must be diferent. Get another bird, one that is known to throw white, and breed it to one of yours. If that doesn't work, get one of the opposite gender and breed it to your other one. You'd think white would be easier, right?

For chocolate, if you are only getting choc females, it's your male who carries choc. If all your females are choc, he probably carries two coppies of the gene. If you're getting chocolate in both genders, both whites carry choc!

do you consider her to be chocolate or just have the gene? and sorry about the quality of that pic

I figure everyone here knows Dun genes so I should ask this here. I hatched eggs that are from a dun cock on a black hen and a blue hen. I have 4 chicks, 2 are blue and 2 appear to be dun. Can you tell me what happens when you cross a dun to a blue. BTW I am talking about Sumatras, but this is the only thread I could find to ask something like this.
Thanks!
