recessive and sex linked are not the same.

They may not mean the same but the type of chocolate that I have is both recessive and it is sex linked.

I just read this thread and went out and took a couple pictures of my polish.

awesome, of all the other birds that carry heterozygous Dun(dominant chocolate) the polish is one of the few brids that can pull it uff(to look chocolate)

below bird is not mine

I always understood that there is dominate/ recessive and then there is sexlinked which is carried on the X chromosome. making this 2 separate things.

That is one nice looking rooster.Really like his unusual color.Is he a cross between 2 color varieties,please tell me how you got him?

I have some khaki? colored silkies (pale brownish tan, like "clay" colored house siding) and it seems they are all that hatch this color are boys. if this was sex linked, i'd think they should all be girls. dad is also khaki.
these I believe come when I cross the dad with splash (I have 4 different splash girls)

Would love to see some pics.

I think there was someone who believed there was a chocolate gene that is dominant but I have no knowledge about it. Mine are recessive, that have been proven by the way they breed. They breed true to the rules that recessive chocolate breed by. It is also definitely sex linked. The hens require only one chocolate gene to be chocolate but the roosters require 2 genes to show chocolate. It's very easy to breed for this color, very predictable. All you need to start is a single chocolate rooster and some good black hens.

I got him the Dun Pullet and the Whitish Pullet next to him in the pictures from 6 chocolate Polish Bantam eggs off ebay those are the 3 chicks that hatched.

there is no X chromosome on chickens, only Z and W, boys have ZZ and girls have ZW, but in the case of sex linked chocolate(choc) this gene is also recessive

Here are some updated photos of the chick on page 12, the one I believe is both chocolate and blue.











Looks sort of a lighter chocolate than the other chocolate chicks
