ok here I go..

 

the cream gene(which is recessive and found only on a few breeds of chickens, I have to see a large bird with cream gene add it)

 

here a citron spangled hamburgs(ignore the black spots, just think of them as solid colored)

columbian Buff(not solid buff, but mostly buff) can be had in lighter shades if you add blue and/or Dominant white to its background

now comes the Champagne blonde color(not to be confused with the champagne blond gene found on buff birds)

 

champagne blond is a mix of columbian buff with lavender, if you add self buff to lavender you create the isabela color wich is a very pale color, maybe you want to start with a dark buff bird and add lavender to have that peach color..
