What would a chocolate Wyandotte X white orp look like

[Krys109uk]

Good idea, if you can pull it off. Chocolate Orps in Britain (mostly in Wales it seems) are mostly in bantam at present.

yes the ones i found are in bantams but if i get standard black orp roos and cross them with the chocolate orp hens would i eventually get standard chocoate orps?

What's wrong with dun? You guys make it sound like a second rate chocolate.
Dun is easier to breed with and it comes in 2 shades.

I have run across several bantam dunn wyandottes at shows...and honestly I just didnt like the color. They looked more off color blue than chocolate to me....maybe they were just bad colored dunn? I raise chocolate call ducks and the color is just so much richer, course they hens are only good for a year or two, then they start turning white.

I'm not sure that comparing colour between two species is appropriate. Colour names are difficult enough what with hobby names from one country as compared with another and another, and then throw in genetic names as well...

A dun bird can carry blue, or not. I think that affects the hue to some extent, but am not aware of anyone testing this out.
