Is it Dun or Sex-linked Recessive Chocolate?

[Spangled]

I believe that HenThymes also breeds chocolate orpingtons and that may be the source of her cross breeding material to bring the gene into her cochins.

Wait. Are chocolate Orpingtons dun (I^d/i+) or sex-linked recessive chocolate (choc)?

The sex-linked chocolate orpingtons I've seen in the U.S. are REALLY expensive, but gorgeous! I'd like to get a hold of some sex-linked chocolate in any breed or mix so I can work the color into my flock. I've been checking out seramas as a potential source... I think they are one of the breeds harboring the gene here in the U.S.

True.. how about mixing Dun and sex link Chocolate to make Beige colored Orps..!

I think I just might try that....I've got dun and chocolate....so I'll ask DH to fix me up another pen for this project....LOL I'll keep you posted...although it won't be immediate! Beige would be really pretty I think!

cool.. a chocolate rooster over a dun hen will give you 50% beige colored hens
