Your birds are absolutely lovely!! Would you be willing to discuss the chocolate gene and how it works? I have flocks of Orpingtons in the US and mainly focus on Lavender. I am trying to understand the way the Chocolate gene differs in mechanism, as I understand it is sex-linked? So, does it work the way barring does? If you (or anyone) can enlighten me, I'd appreciate it- we didn't have the gene in the US until very recently, and almost no one breeds it. There are only rumors of it being here, no confirmation first person. I haven't anyone here to ask!

Thanks so much! My email is the same as my screen name, then @gmail.com
