This seems like a crazy question on color breeding: I have a young lavender orpington cockerel, and chocolate split to black pullets. I know the lavender breeds as black unless bred to lavender. Would all the offspring be black, or would I get any chocolates? Thanks all :)
 
All will be black.
BTW theres no such thing as split to black. A pullet can be black or chocolate but not split to either.
A cockerel can be black split to chocolate but not chocolate split to black.
If you cross your lavender cockerel to chocolate pullets all offspring will be split to lavender and the cockerels will be split to chocolate.
