Making chocolate silver laced orpington

[hhong3138]

How are your eggs?

I candled the eggs a couple days ago, only half are developing. The rooster is not doing a great job and I only get 2 eggs a day. I hope I will hatch at least a few chocolate ones

I have the following-
Black Orpington pair
White Orpington trio
Silver laced Orpington quad
Gold laced Orpington trio
Lavender Orpington flock.

Can some some one please tell me what other colors I can make with this group of birds? I have multiple lavender, gold laced, silver laced roosters.

There aren't too many options with these colors. If you are patient, you can try lavender with golden laced to create Isabel lavender laced or lavender over silver laced to get lavender silver laced. It will be a minimum 4 years project though

That makes your project challenging, and the birds all the more rare though.

Yeah, it does! I think it is a great way to make me more patient

Good news! The second batch of the eggs have much better developing rate! out of 14 eggs, only one didn't develop. Hopefully I will have a better hatch around 31th
