My brother has a broken chocolate Polish buck (Picasso) and he will be getting a black Polish doe on Thursday. Is it okay to cross broken chocolate to black? If so, what color will the kits be?
 
The breeder I got my Polish from has done it. I would say you'd get black, broken chocolate, possibly broken black and maybe chocolate.
 
If the black doesn't carry chocolate then you will get blacks, broken and solid.
If the black carries chocolate, then you can get all or a mixture of any of the above, or a list of several colors depending on the other recessive genes in the pedigree.

Its fine to breed all self colors together, but chocolate is recessive to black, so both have to carry it.
 
The kits from that breeding, at least a portion of them
will be Bb They will be Black but will carry the chocolate gene
Breed one of the kits back to the parent with the b chocolate gene
and you are apt to produce both Chocolate and Black offspring with that breeding.
Ottersatin. :eek:ldtimer:
