- This video shows an explanation of the sex-linked chocolate gene, a brief overview of how sex-linkage works and six different punnet squares related to the breeding of the chocolate variety as caused by sex-linked chocolate. The chocolate variety as caused by sl chocolate can be found in wyandottes, orpingtons, seramas, silkies, ameraucanas and marans.

Have you ever done a video on lacing and patterns and how they interact when breeding?
Hi! I have not yet, but hope to get to it someday! 🙂
I do mention a little bit about it in a video on the E-series, but haven’t done a full video.
Can you go over crossing chocolate mottled orphingtions to buff and or crossing a chocolate cuckoo to a mottled chocolate?
Excellent video! I would like to know, what result would I get if I cross White Silkie with Silkie Buff? Would they come out half buff and half white?
Thank you so much!
Buff is more complicated because there isn’t a buff gene, the variety is made using a few genes. 🙂 The color you would get would basically be a mess. And keep in mind there are two types of white found in silkies, dominant white and recessive white. The results of the offspring will vary based on what kind of white it is. But either way, the cross wouldn’t make any known variety, it would just make a mess. 😁
Here is a video I did on dominate vs recessive white if this helps. 🙂

Ooh!, Thank you so much!
I will watch this video right now!
@@WulfstanPine No problem at all! Hope it helps!
How about a chocolate Rooster to black hen? I don’t know if I saw that covered, I have a chocolate roo that I’m not sure if he is Dun or SL
Hey! Yes, that was covered, it was explained at 6:16 😁 The only good was to tell if a bird is sex-linked chocolate or dun-based chocolate is to see what colors his/her offspring are. Here is a link to the video on dun-based chocolate. 🙂ua-cam.com/video/TpYjeUCy13g/v-deo.html
Genetics are confusing but important to understand if you are planning on breeding.
And I'm really really trying to get it all down lol.
And I do have a question.
I have been working on my black line for umm, this is my third year.
Last fall, my last hatch i came up with 2 chocolate chicks.
All my breeders in that coop are black.
All of my chicks I have hatched from them have been black.
Then out of the blue these 2 chocolate chicks hatch.
All my genetics in this coop have been from eggs I hatch from breeders who breed for show.
My rooster does have 1 feather on 1 foot that is white.
I'm growing out a replacement rooster now. I had to buy eggs from a line I wanted that has great type and has won in several shows.
So while looking for a replacement then having to hatch one and grow it out I have continued using my same rooster to cover my blacks.
I have my first bunch of eggs in the incubator now, due to hatch on the 29th of this month.
But I'm trying to figure out who these 2 chocolates came from.
And it's weird I have never had any in any of my other hatches.
So what is your thoughts on this.
Is it a Dunn gene?
And I know the only way to know if it is my rooster or one of the hens is to replace my rooster and see if I get any other chocolates.
And if it's one of the hens that's a bigger job to separate, breed collect and mark each egg from each hen then hatch and see lol.
I have no plans on breeding chocolate.
So the 2 chicks I gave to a lady that wanted them with the understanding I wanted pictures of them while she's growing them out.
And after they are grown.
I just want to see how they grow out and what quality they turn out to be and the sex of them.
And she has been good about sending me pictures.
She spoils them lol.
So what is your thoughts on how only 2 chicks out of many hatches turned out chocolate?
Hi! So in your case, if the chicks are indeed chocolate and not poorly colored blacks, this would be sex-linked chocolate, not dun. 🙂 It is possible to breed two blacks and get a chocolate, but only if the male is heterozygous for chocolate (it’s recessive), and all chocolate offspring should be female. Definitely let me know what gender the chicks are when they’re older! To find out for sure, if the chicks are female, breed them back to the dad and see what happens! You should get male and female chocolate chicks from that. 🙂
How many other chicks have been hatched out of that exact pairing? 🙂 Also, who did you get that male from? Did you contact them? Accidents happen and if they raise chocolates, they could’ve sent you the wrong egg or had him mix in with their chocolates. I bought a hen two years ago who I have now learned was split to mottled, because when I tightly inbred her with her offspring, I have mottleds! 😅
I have done probably 8 or more hatches from that pen. All other chicks have been black.
This rooster I traded for. That lady had hatched him from eggs she bought and had shipped to her from Texas. But I am not sure of the breeders name. I had it at one time and checked them out. But it's been a while back. I will have to see if I can find that info.
Wish I could post a pic for ya lol.
He's a nice looking roo. Beautiful green sheen on tail and some on the wings.
The breeders the hens eggs I hatched don't breed chocolate or didn't at the time.
These are from 2 yrs ago.
I will see if I can message you with some pictures. Thanks for your reply.
