Chocolate is a color and not a breed but breeds with that color can be called Cocholate Orpinton, Cocholate Serama and so on...

Edit..

Now with that in mind there are 2 ways of creating a Chocolate colored chicken... the easiste and most commun way is using Dominant Heterozygous Dunn...

I have some WC Choclate Cuckoo polish breeders. I am trying to work on the color

I thought polish were one of the very few breeds that actually carried the Chocolate gene.

There Dunn,

''Chocolate'' X ''Chocolate'' = Black, Khaki, "Chocolate"
''Chocolate'' X Black = Black & ''Chocolate''
''Chocolate'' X Khaki = ''Chocolate'' & Khaki
Khaki X Black = ''Chocolate''
Khaki X Khaki = Khaki
