Didn't keep them unfortunately- We had a bad respiratory infection break out like a month or two after I hatched them and lost a lot of the grow outs to it. I also no longer own any polish. (Might change in the future but as of right now they aren't my focus.)
Awesome! How exciting. 🥳
Currently growing out offspring from my chocolate mottled project pen.
I have a black cochin boy over a chocolate and a chocolate mottled hen- Will be keeping at least one roo from them and breeding back to the mottled split sisters and the mother. (Since the roo's will...

Hey, this post was from last year but I'm dealing something similar-
Would the blue and splash offspring from blue chocolate split over splash be cockerels?
I know all the mauve would be females, but what about the splash and blues? 25% females and 25% males?
But i do have a hatch i did recently from the same chocolate roo- i believe 1 of them was from a salmon faverolle hen.
Also if you're looking for sexlinks i don't think the black rooster will do that.
So, update- she told me it's very likely he could be split.
She also told me to her the splash frizzle girl looks to be more of a leaky splash- told me to check for any red feathers on her.
she does but they're in a separate pen- she has a chocolate mauve pen that isn't sexlinked and then a sexlinked chocolate pen.
The splash frizzle came from a different place (don't know her history all that well)
The rooster came from a breeder who I trust quite a lot, beautiful birds- She marks...
The father is blue- I'll have to find pictures of him as a younger bird, he is just sunbleached.
He either came from a separated bbs pen, or a blue rooster over chocolate/mauve hens, which just makes split cockerels- She's a very responsible breeder.
If he is dun, then she must be mistaking them...
Wanted to add- I just recently hatch sexlinks from a chocolate orp roo over blue and splash hens and got a sexlinked mauve female- It looks very similar to the mystery silkie I'm asking about:
