Why is my Orpington white?

[JoAnnDon]

genetics question- I crossed a chocolate hen with a splash rooster. I was expecting mauve offspring. They are several months old now and appear white. I purchased the hen and rooster as adults so I don't know what they could be split to.

How did I get white? Will their color change as they mature? What color would their offspring be if I crossed them back with a chocolate rooster?

I have very little knowledge on how color genetics work. ..but enjoy just experimenting with it.
