Chocolate Laced Blue?

[oldschoolchick]

is it genetically possible to have a Blue bird that is also laced with chocolate color?

Short answer: No.
Long answer: There is 'Blue laced' which looks black laced blue, but is just a blue chicken with a Pattern gene and the lacing cannot be diluted by chocolate separately from the groundcolor (blue).

Both chocolate, dun, and blue are all diluters of black so in a sense it would be like black laced black. Either one or the other or in the case of dun and blue you can combine them for platinum

What does it look like when there is blue and chocolate on the same bird? or can that happen?

 

[pips&peeps]

It cannot happen.

the lacing cannot be diluted by chocolate separately from the groundcolor (blue).​

Well when dun and blue are both there for platinum you can find pics on the sumatra thread, Jeremy has pics of his cockerel there. I dont know what the true sexlinked recessive chocolate and blue look like in the same bird, I dont know if it has been done here in the US yet

The next question might be why?......jk
just dont know how attractive that would look with all of that dilution......could just looked like washed out poop imo

Dun (I^d/i+) X Blue (Bl/bl) = Platinum

Chocolate (choc/choc) X Blue (Bl/bl) = (What the Brits call) Mauve, or Mauve laced. As far as I know this color has not been created in the States yet... I'm working on changing that though.

I think the Mauve birds are beautiful, they need a new name though... Mauve just doesn't fit IMO.

Good looking bird... but yeah, not blue... almost looks like a dilute lav.
