Sex linked chicks: hens will be chocolate and roosters will be black split for chocolate.

Chocolate Breeding:


Chocolate Orpingtons breed true - but there are some breeding combinations that are worth noting
Chocolate Male X Chocolate Female = 100% Chocolate
Black Male X Chocolate Female = 50% Black Males carrying Chocolate, 50% Black Females
Chocolate Male X Black Female = 50% Black Males carrying Chocolate, 50% Chocolate Females
Black Male carrying Chocolate X Chocolate Female = 25% Chocolate Males, 25% Black Males carrying Chocolate, 25% Chocolate Females, 25% Black Females

Black Male carrying Chocolate X Black Female = 25% Black Males carrying Chocolate, 25% Black Males, 25% Chocolate Females, 25% Black Females

Mine are neither. I got mine from Jordan Farms and absolutely love my butter balls. Frankly, I would never recommend GFF for quality birds. They don't breed for standards like others do. Marc Sacre or even Jordan Farms will be your best bet. My guys look very close to what English bantam orps should.

Does GFF have LF?

No, their's are bantam. As far as I know, LF chocos are still a work in progress. Krafty has them.
