How would I go about getting a lemon cream bird? I was messing around with the chicken breed calculator and with the settings made a black pattern yellow/ lemon/ cream (incomplete) laced rooster and hen. What breeds even have the lemon/cream gene?

You can get that effect with Di/Di
or with ig/ig, or with Cb/Cb

It looks like Di and Cb are dominant, with ig being recessive.

Crested Cream Legbars should have one of those dilution genes (Di or ig or Cb), although I don't know which one. Several hatcheries sell them.

Cream Brabanters would have one of those dilution genes (I see them listed on Ideal Poultry's website, although they are currently sold out.)

I have read that many Silver chickens have one or more genes that dilute gold, because that helps them have a cleaner-looking white. So you could try any breed in Silver Laced or Silver Spangled or Silver Pencilled or Silver Columbian (sometimes just called Columbian).
