The Moonshiner's Leghorns

I've worked some in the past with solid and barred chocolates. Still gonna see about those but focusing first on chocolate gold duckwing then chocolate silver duckwing.
Anyone know of a breed that has either of those as a variety?
I'm sure OEGB have a dun chocolate version.
asking for my kid.

OEGB might have a chocolate version as well. Dun is likely more common.

OEGB has fawn reds. What is bbr but replacing the black with fawn(dun).

OEGB has fawn reds.

Is fawn the chocolate or dun gene?

It's dun.

Did a search and there are lemon chocolate OEGB. Some look fawn but others look like true chocolate.

OK so after reading some more into it OEGB people sometimes call fawn(dun) chocolate. So no I don't think OEGB has chocolate. I do know that there's two forms of chocolate one is sex linked the other is not.

Ya dun looks chocolate but is a different gene. It breeds like blue, black, splash.
I think it's black, dun and khaki (fawn?)
Seems I've seen those in duckwing before but not the sex linked chocolate.
After work I'll explain why I asked.

What about Black Leghorn bred with the darker brown Leghorn. Would that create your chocolate Leghorn, and you'd still have the yellow legs? Just trying to help as an idea.

Nope. Their darker brown is just from their pattern. It's not actually a gene that changes something like black to brown.
That's what I'm trying to do. Chocolate and dun are dilute genes. They dilute black to brown.

I hope that you get it figured out for your project.
