A variety that we developed by adding brown to a slate. Genotype: BB Dd ee for toms and BB Dd e- for hens. Black base with dominant slate and brown.
They look basically like a blue slate except the normal areas of random black splashes are replaced with brown splashes on a blue base color.
When breeding these three results will occur, which is sort of similar to a typical slate breeding.
The Chocolate Slate will produce three colors: Chocolate Slate, a pale Self Blue, and Chocolate. The latter two will breed true.
Weights: Old Toms approx. 33 lbs. Old Hens 18 lbs.
