Fyi cchl is NOT a typo. They are explaining how cchl makes an inferior coat due to the partial removal of yellow, leaving a yellow tinge, as opposed to cchd removing the yellow entirely.

I think I deleted my last reply somehow - ugh - but I'm pretty sure that's is just Rufus modifiers at work, which would explain both rusty back and darker coloration potentially as well. If that other comment doesn't pop up I'll write it all out again but I'm hoping it comes back lol. Also I...

Ahhh gotcha, I've noticed this in my kits too, I think it's Rufus but I'm not sure. I might be able to answer some of these questions with litters due this month, I have three potential chinchilla litters Chin buck x Cali doe Chin buck x broken chin doe Chin doe x blue buck I'm sure at least...

Hmm yeah I'll be interested to see the photos for sure!

Lol no worries. I wonder if it's just a dilute or chocolate chin that they were referring to

Either of them would rid you of chinchilla pretty quickly, it's recessive to C

Thank you!!! I will try and remember to update the forum once the babies come :)

Thank you! Sorry for the late reply I'm not sure why I didn't get the push notification or see it or something I'm in Canada, about an hour north of Toronto, so not Alaska but not Florida either. I just got her about a week ago so my setup hasn't affected her fur yet but the lady I got her from...

So that would essentially make her a tricolor California because she'd have harlequin, broken, but present as a Californian? Here's some more photos again finally got her in a good mood so I got photos of the stripes at the base of the ear, the foot smut, and the tail. I'm hesitant to believe...

Thank you! I posted more photos in another reply if you are interested. I am also thinking she is likely chc not chch and that may be affecting the color intensity. Do you have experience about that? Was just researching a bit last night and ran into some new info.

Thank you that makes a fair amount of sense! She is pretty flighty so I couldn't get a photo of this but there a bit of striping at the base of her ears that I'm not sure is typical either. Got some better photos though, I'll try to post them with this comment :) All four feet are white, but...

I recently got a new Zealand doe from a lady who was nice, but clueless about color and genetics. I have zero back history on this rabbit but it looks chocolate to me. I know temperature affects the ch gene though, so is this a black or brown Californian color? I will try and get a better nose...

Did your annoying tenacity pay off? I have a magpie project so this is super relevant to my color goals. Never heard of medium chinchilla though, do you have any other references?

correct, that's simplifying it, but yes, as a general statement.

I have a Blue(?) Chin Flemish doe that was bred to a blue Flemish buck. Got 9 kits out of it and I'm trying to figure out who to keep. I have a Harli buck (not flemish) I plan to use to get Magpies out of my Chins. I think I want self chins right? so the ej has an easier time getting in there...

I have a Chinchilla (Flemish) doe that was bred to a blue (Flemish) buck that is not mine. My end goal is to breed magpies. I have a harlequin buck (not Flemish), and I want to keep a couple of the kits from the (Flemish) litter with the blue. I'm pretty sure I have the following colors: Black...

Stripes vs spots basically

I have a light grey Flemish doe who was bred to a blue Flemish buck. (Mom and babies in attached photo. I got her preggo so I don't have a daddy picture.) Genetically what is grey? Like is it agouti blue or something? I can't figure it out. Granted they're only 2 days old but most of the kits...
