So if you have a broken black that Carries tri and you breed her to a harlequin who also carries tri?
Tricolor rabbits are broken harlequins. There are two genes necessary to make tri:So if you have a broken black that Carries tri and you breed her to a harlequin who also carries tri?
Chocolate magpie is generally an agouti A_, recessive brown bb, chinchilla c(chd)_, dense color D_, and harlequin e(j)_. Chocolate agouti is generally agouti A_, recessive brown bb, full color C_, dense color D_, normal extension E_. Those dashes are for unknown genes that may be behind the dominant one, and the key to what kits you might get. For odds on all these different pairings, try the genetic calculator at https://www.omnicalculator.com/biology/rabbit-color or one of the other rabbit breeding calculators available online.Dose anyone know what I could get with these chocolate breeding pairs?
Chocolate magpie - chocolate agouti
Chocolate magpie - chocolate
Chocolate magpie - broken chocolate
Chocolate magpie - chocolate frosty
Chocolate magpie - chocolate harlequin
As a rule, that pairing is fine. It's known as line-breeding.I want to breed a son and a mom. I’ve heard this is ok. Will this create problems for futur babys or on the pedigree?
Both of them are non-extension self <ee> colors, so all of their kits will be non-extension self colors as well. My daughter also has Holland Lops, a broken tort buck and a sable point doe, and they always produce more torts and sable points, some solid and some broken.Also what would a black tort and a sable point produce?
Line-breeding does not necessarily set undesirable traits; you can instead work to reduce or eliminate them. One of the great things about line-breeding is that it uncovers those unwanted traits so you know that they're there and which rabbits carry them. It's painful in the short run, as you're finding those traits, but in the long run it can produce a really robust line of rabbits. You just have to be watchful, and remove carriers from the breeding lineup without hesitation.Breeding a son to mother is like breeding the father to the daughter, it is line breeding and used to set traits. I use it every so often in my own breeding to set my more desirable traits. Don't do it too often as it will also set the undesirable traits and can cause issues further down the line.
As both are self based ee you would get Sallander in this case, as ermines are agouti. But I'm sure you knew thisIf the tort carries chinchilla <c(chd)>, you might see non-extension chinchillas, which are known as ermines.
At six months old, Hollands are considered seniors, so you should have the type and weight you want by then. In our experience, good Holland Lops just get better as they age. The best ones are already built like little tanks by weaning age, or even earlier, but most well-bred Hollands' bodies, heads and crowns thicken as they mature, so those are traits that can improve with time.Hey! I’m wanting to buy a new rabbit but it’s in its “uglys” at what age dose a holland lops body mature? Would you buy a rabbit in its uglys?
I would be willing to believe that's a sable magpie, but a single photo taken in the shade viewed on a computer screen does temper my confidence.Anyone know what this girls color is? I was told she is a VM sable magpie. Maybe blue. Also what is a sable magpie? Thanks again for any help.
