Chocolate breeding project




These are the product of a chocolate Old English Game hen and a Rose combed Nankin Rooster
(Note: the pullet has a rose comb and the cockerel has a single, which means the rooster is split for both in comb genetics otherwise they would have both been rose combs.)
This was a breeding project to see how chocolate reacts within these patterns. My ultimate goal is to create something similar in pattern to a Nankin, but where they have black in the tails, I want these to have chocolate. They are very cool looking!
