broken x broken

[ilovehome]

I know "statistically" speaking if you breed broken to broken each kit has a 50% chance of broken, 25% chance of charlie markings, and 25% chance of solid. So I have 11 kits from a broken to broken breeding (with 2 solids), but all 9 brokens have full butterfly noses, and about 50% or more color like their sire and dam.

With no visual evidence of being charlie, would you assume all 9 are Enen?

Yes. Genetic probabilities are just that... probabilities. Your next litter could be full of charlies.

I once had two does kindle on the same day- each was a broken x solid breeding. One had five brokens and one solid, and the other had five solids and one broken. So the 50/50 odds worked- but it took two does to accomplish it! :lol:
