well I guess I am seeing him with my genetic eyes...

he looks very similar to that mauve(very light colored background and chocolate colored pyle areas including the faint lacing on him) can I see more pics of him, Please.. I need it for a new post I´ll be doing in the genetic gorus place..

LOL! I'm only looking at outside appearances. I can try to get some better images of him if you would like.

Here is a couple pics of our babies beside a split chic.

Side by side it is easier to tell the colors.

Adorable babies Nellie! Are you working on a LF Choc Orp too?

 

[jeremy]

are these you Mauve Hens?

No, those images were pulled from a UK EBAY listing.

I plan on trying to recreate a bird like that though this year.

I believe what we are also seeing is the influence of s+/s+ on this birds, seem like most choc based birds are based on sex link recessive gold(s+) but Dun(which can look very chocolate with the correct genetic background, one of them being gold s+) can also be found on Silver based birds and the color is slate not chocolate, I am guessing that a Silver based mauve would look alot like Henks Platinum Blues(which by the way are based on sex link dominant Silver S, not gold s+).. but is just a theory of mine..

Here are my chocolate chicks so far, I have 6 out and also some blacks or splits out. They're pictured from youngest to oldest. Ive been trying to hatch out some pure blues before I pen up my mauve pen.
