timbarra Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 they will only breed chocolates if both birds carry the gene for recessive red(chocolate) the hen does as she is chocolate, the cock may or may not. if he does not carry the gene , you can take 100s of young from him with the hen and not one will be chocolate. if he does you should get 1 in 4 roughly. you should find out soon enough. spencer
coey Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 i have got a choc pied cock that is paired with a checkpied hen and the both yb's have turned out choc pieds

timbarra Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 then your cheq pied hen carries the chocolate gene !!!! my case exactly.
hicky Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Posted February 23, 2008 will take £80 for pair need room
schouwman71 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Posted February 23, 2008 i once paired my no1 stock hen a 1993 janssen vanden bosch hen with a direct son of "stamvater" when paired to "sheer elegance" pure janssen and they bred a choc pied in there first nest.the hen had recessive reds in her pedigree but the cock was pure janssen of arendonk so through my findings both sexes dont need the chocolate gene in them.Dont know weather the red fox colouring had an inpact in the colour but theres definatly no vanden bosch in the sire.
timbarra Posted February 25, 2008 Report Posted February 25, 2008 hi les, it can be mutated and seem like a choc strawberry type, but if you ask any geneticist then they will tell you both must carry the recessive chcolate gene, if you doubt this ask Karel meuleman, herman beverdam, schailwijk and son and anyone who has a knowledge of the family or genetics, if it was a pure chocolate you bred then either the janssen is not what it was told it was or hen could have been trodden by another VDB cock. cheers spencer
