What? Split to lavender or split to chocolate means the bird's appearance is black but they carry those genetics. The lavender or chocolate is a hidden trait. MPC doesn't even carry Chocolate Orps. Neither look black so are not splits.The clear banding is odd however. The first looks splash (not sure of breed yet) and the second looks similar to an Egyptian Fayoumi. These are pictures of Black Orpington chicks (which have the same appearance as a split.)
