What would a chocolate Wyandotte X white orp look like

[STEPHANIELAUREN]

Does anyone know?
I'm thinking about starting these as project birds in 2010 would anyone be interested?

By chocolate, do you mean the sex linked recessive chocolate gene (choc) or do you mean 'split' for dun (I^D)?

A cross from either of those could be a bit unpredictable as one doesn't necessarily know what is under the white. Both types of chocolate genes are on black so the likelihood is that, unless the white is blue underneath, choc X white would most likely give black possibly with leakage. Again as long as the white did not carry blue, the cross from dun would most likely give 50% black & 50% chocolate again possibly with leakage. All would carry recesive white.
Recessive white is not the best cross to other colours.

I have seen Choc. wyan in the UK but not here. do they have them here?

 

[STEPHANIELAUREN]

Yupp I found them here and I'm not to good with the genetics I guess I'll have to study it more but the place I found them just has them as chocolate wyandotte but I can't copy pictures to here. But darn I wanted to have some "white chocolate orpandottes" LOL guess not

I'm not certain but I'd guess chocolae wyandottes in US are probably dun. There is no reason not to cross them to black orps & go from there.
I think if you had the choc gene people would be all over them.

LOL okay thank you

I was just making sure I wouldn't be making a huge mistake because they are NOT cheap LOL but I really wanna start a project of my own

Keep us posted won't you?

If you cross them to the very best of black Orps (to get a good start towards type), then you'll see which gene you've got.

Best start with a chocolate rooster in case you have sexlinked chocolate.

 

[STEPHANIELAUREN]

well the minimum order for both breeds the chocolate wyandottes and black orps is 25 and theyre straight run so then would i keep the chocolate wyan. roos and the black orp hens?

The only chocolate wyandottes I found is out of Canada (excluding Europe) and those are bantams.
