that can also be the case. but he was asking if it was possible or not and so far I see is doable. sombody has to try it and post the pics here...

I just KNEW you were looking for a new project/experiment

I just love theoretical genetics, since I can't do them by my self, I play with genetic possibilities in my head when I have free time.

If you had andalusian blue restricting the pigment to the edges of the feather, and also chocolate (either kind) diluting the feather all over, wouldn't the blue part of the feather be a pale shade of chocolate, not pure blue?

Blue(Bl/bl+) + Dun(Heterozygous Dun I^D) = Platinum Blue...

let me emphasize on this point further..(not my birds but I use them for educational P.)

Dun and Choc don't seem to have the same limitation as Blue(can't dilute Pyle areas on Extended Black areas)

I really like the color on that Polish. I'm liking dun and chocolate more and more as I see more pics of it. Unfortunately, I don't have the space or the money to work with all the color varieties I'd like, so I guess I'll just admire other people's birds for now and focus on the ones I have.

soooo pretty!!!

looks like a red laced blue. Cream is a creamy not-quite white colour.

I've seen a few red laced birds but she is definitly not a red laced. Could be the computer/sunlight but her lacing has become more of adarker chocolatishsince her moult. The farther back you go on her the darker the blue becomes and lesser lacing but you can still see it.

I'll see if I can grab some new ones tomorrow but at the moment she has only 3 tail feathers

The color of the pigment in blue chickens is still black (unmodified eumelanin).
The color of the pigment in chocolate chickens is brown (modified, poor quality eumelanin).
