He came from a bycer... ChooksChick's friend, Marc imported some orpingtons months ago and now has juvies for sale. Pm her for more info. .. or email me. I have his email info somewhere.
Well, you beat me to it. I was going to buy 3-4 chocolate Orps this coming year after the move and the financial uproar settles and start a chocolate Cochin project.

A friend of mine drove to his house a couple weeks ago and picked up a trio of Chocolates. Have you seen the newest birds he imported? They're very drool worthy!
I am planning on crossing him to buff mottled with a hint of black on the hackle... and see what happens. You have to think of him like black and how that would affect MFC. All the male offspring will be black based with some mottling. Some of the females will be chocolate based with some mottling. I will take those chocolate females and put them to an excellent typed and marked MFC roo that I will hopefully have next fall..
