Information on the Chocolate Variety - Q&A

<< < (2/2)

Jean:
Yes it is.

Cesar “CJ”:
I love the chocolate project. I have several people that are growing pullets from me and they're looking very nice.

But Im worried about irresponsible breeders that wont cull. Sooner or later there will be chocolate pullets popping out from all black flocks.

Ive been very selective on who I sold to, but I think we might have in consequently damaged the black gene pool just a tad.

Or I Can be totally wrong haha

DeWayne Edgin:
Cesar wouldn`t this also be true with the Lavenders? If it is then you could have blacks that are pure. Blacks with Lavender splits also blacks with chocolate splits. Careless breeding would cause alot of problems if someone used them and didn`t know. Atleast i would think it would.

Yes It is true, I think Jean ran into that problem from birds she got from someone.
