OK, I need some help. When you cross a choc to a choc you get a choc. Right? In the wyn world when you cross a dun to a dun you get 25% black, 50 % dun and 25 % khaki (splash like) They breed like blues. Choc don't?

chocolate is recessive sex-linked, carried on the male chromosone
Roosters choc/choc
Hens choc/-
Chocolate Male X Chocolate Female = 100% Chocolate
Black Male X Chocolate Female = 50% Black Males carrying Chocolate, 50% Black Females
Chocolate Male X Black Female = 50% Black Males carrying Chocolate, 50% Chocolate Females
Black Male carrying Chocolate X Chocolate Female = 25% Chocolate Males, 25% Black Males carrying Chocolate, 25% Chocolate Females, 25% Black Females
Black Male carrying Chocolate X Black Female = 25% Black Males carrying Chocolate, 25% Black Males, 25% Chocolate Females, 25% Black Females.
Black males carrying the chocolate gene are called 'Split' cockerels.

I have raised a load of choc bantams this year. The females out of a split choc male over black orp females are alot darker than the split guy over a choc female. I would guess you need to breed choc to choc and when they get light put black back in?

I believe it has to do with the black enhancers in your birds.
Using only your super black birds and your darkest chocolates. The chocolate color can get a washed out look also.
